[Verse 1]
I was born in Lil' Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand
I wore hightop shoes and shirt tails
Suzy was in pigtails
I know I loved her even then
You know my papa disapproved it
My mama boo-hooed
But I told 'em time and time again

[Refrain]
Ooh, I was made to love her
Build my world all around her
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossomed tenderly
My life grew sweeter through the years
I know my baby needs me, my baby loves me
That's why we made it through the years

[Refrain]
Ooh, I was made to love her
Build my life around her
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby, oh yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I was knee-high to a chicken
When the love bug bit me
I had the fever with each passing year
Even if the mountain tumbles
If the whole world crumbles
By her side I'll still be standing there

[Refrain]
Ooh, I was made to love her
Build my world around her
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
