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  know  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  blossmed  tenderly,yeah
My  life  grew  sweeter  through  the  years.
I  know  that  my  baby  loves  me,
My  baby  needs  me,
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.
Ah!
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  crumbles,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.
