(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.
