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…
