| 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… |
