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 hooed   But I told ’em time and time again   Don’t you know      I was made to love him   Build my world all around him   Yeah, yeah, yeah      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      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   Yeah, yeah, yeah      All through thick and thin   My love just won’t end   ’cause my I love my baby, love my baby, oh      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 standin’ there      Can’t go nowhere, I’m on fire...
