Booker T. Jones - I Was Made To Love Her lyrics

I was born in Lil' Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand
I wore hightop shoes and shirt tails
Suzy was in pigtails
I know I loved her even then
You know my papa disapproved it
My mama boo hooed
But, I told 'em time and time again

Ooh, I was made to love her
Build my world all around her
Yeah, yeah, yeah

She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation
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 my baby needs me, my baby loves me
That's why we made it through the years

Ooh, I was made to love her
Build my life around her yeah, yeah, yeah

All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end
'Cause, I love my baby, love my baby, oh yeah

I was knee-high to a chicken
When the love bug bit me
I had the fever with each passing year
Even if the mountain tumbles
If the whole world crumbles
By her side I'll still be standing there

Ooh, I was made to love her
Build my world around her yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
