(Hey, hey, hey.)
See, I was born in Newark.
Drive from Orchard Park, now.
We were always hand in hand.
He wore hightop shoes and shirttails
Nick wore his pigtails.
I knew I loved him even then.
You know, some disapproved it,
They even boo-hooed it.
But I told them time and time and
Time again.
You know I was made to love him,
Build my world around him.
(Hey, hey, hey.)
He's been my inspiration, showed appreciation
For the love I gave him through the years.
Like a sweet magnolia tree, my love blossomed tenderly.
My love grew sweeter through the years.
I know my baby loves me, my baby needs me.
That's why we've made it through the years.
You know I was made to love him,
Build my world around him.
(Hey, hey, hey.)
My baby loves me, my baby needs me.
I'm not goin' nowhere.
I was just a little thing, but that lovebug hit me.
I had the fever with each passing year.
If all should tumble and the whole world crumble,
By his side I'd still be standing there. 'Cause...
You know I was made to love him,
Build my world around him.
(Hey, hey, hey.)
All through thick and thin,
Our love just won't end.
'Cause I love my baby, love
my baby, oh.
