I was born in Little Rock, 
Had a childhood sweetheart, yeah 
We were always hand in hand. 
I was hightop shoes and shirt tails, 
Suzy was in pig tails, yeah 
I knew I loved her even then. 
You know my papa disapproved it, 
My mama boohooed it, yeah 
But I told them time and time again, 
"Don't you know that I was made to love her, 
Built my world all around her" 
Yeah! Hey, hey, hey. 
She's been my inspiration, 
Showed appreciation, yeah 
For the love I gave her through the years. 
Like a sweet magnolia tree 
My love blossom tenderly, yeah yeah 
My life grew sweeter through the years. 
I know that my baby loves me, 
My baby needs me, yeah 
That's why we made it through the years. 
I was made to love her, 
Worship and adore her, yeah 
Hey, hey, hey. 
All through thick and thin 
Our love just won't end, 
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby. 
Aaaaaah! 
My baby loves me, 
My baby needs me, yeah 
And I know I ain't going nowhere. 
I was knee high to a chicken 
When that love bug bit me, yeah 
I had the fever with each passing year. 
Oh, even if the mountain tumbles, 
If this whole world [bad word]  yeah 
By her side I'll still be standing there. 
"Don't you know that I was made to love her, 
Built my world all around her, yeah 
Hey, hey, hey. 
She's been my inspiration, 
Showed appreciation, yeah 
For the love I gave her through the years.
