[Verse 1]
I was born in Little Rock
I had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand
He wore high top shoes and shirt tails
Chaka wore her pigtails
I knew I loved him even then
Well you know my papa disapproved
My mama boo hoo hoo’d
But I told 'em time and time again
Don't you know
[Hook]
I was made to love him
Build my world all around him
[Verse 2]
He's been my inspiration
And shows appreciation
For the love I gave him through the years
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossoms tenderly
My life grew sweeter through the years
I know that
[Hook]
My baby loves me, my baby needs me
That's why we've made it through the years
I was made to love him
Build my world all around him
All through thick and thin my love just won't end
'Cause my I love my baby, love my baby, oh
[Break]
[Hook]
My baby loves me, my baby needs me
That's why we've made it through the years
When I was knee-high to a chicken
The love bug bit me and I'm still, still in love
If the distant mountain crumble
Love won't tumble I'll still be standing there
[Outro]
Can't go nowhere, I'm on fire
My baby loves me, my baby needs me
That's why we've made it through the years
