Hey, oh, hey hey hey

See I was born in Newark (sure was)



We were always hand in hand

He wore high top shoes and shirt tales

Nip wore her 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 and

Hey, hey, hey

He’s been my inspiration

Sho’ nuff appeciation

For the love I gave him through the years



Like a sweet magnolia trea

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 made it through the years



I was made to love him

Worship and adore him, yes say

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, oh Lord



All through thick and thin

Our love just won’t end

But I love my baby, love my baby, oh



My baby loves me

My baby needs me

I know I ain’t going nowhere

I was just a little thing

The love bug hit me

I had the fever with each passing year



If all should tumble

And the whole world crumble

By his side I’ll still be standing, yeah



Cuz I was made to love him

Made meant for him, say

Hey, hey, hey

I was made to love him

Build my world all around him say

Hey, hey, hey



I love my baby

Nip aint’ going nowhere

Say hey, hey, hey
