Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand
I was hightop shoes and shirt tails
I know I loved her even then
You know my papa disapproved it
But I told them time and time again
"Don't you know I was made to love her
Built a world all around her"
She's been my inspiration
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 that my baby loves me
That's why we made it through the years
All through thick and thin
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah!
And I know I ain't going nowhere
I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug bit me
I had the fever with each passing year
Oh, even if the mountain tumbles
If this whole world crumbles
By her side I'll still be standing there
'Cause I was made to love her
I was made to live for her, yeah!
Ah, I was made to love her
Built my world all around her
Oo baby, I was made to please her
You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no
Oo wee baby, my baby loves me
