Yeah yeah yeah...

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 it
But I told them time and time again
"Don't you know I was made to love her
Built my whole world around her"
Yah! Hey, hey, hey

She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossmed tenderly
My life grew sweeter through the years
I know that my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years
I was made to love her
Worship and adore her
Hey, hey, hey

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

My baby loves me
My baby needs me
And I know I ain't going nowhere
I was knee high to a chicken
When the love bug bit me, yeah
I had the fever with each passing year
Oh, even if the mountain tumbles
If this whole world crumbles
By her side I'll still be standing there
'Cause I was made to love her
I was made to live for her, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah, I was made to love her
Built my whole world around her
Hey, hey, hey

Ooh baby, I was made to please her
You know daddy ain't gonna leave her, no
Hey, hey, hey

My baby loves me
My baby needs me, yeah, oh yeah
Hey, hey, hey

Ooh wee, I was made to love her
And I know she was made to love me too
Yeah yeah yeah

Oh oh oh, oh, yeah yeah yeah
See I was made to love her
Built my whole world around her
Yeah yeah yeah

Oh baby, oh baby, yeah yeah yeah...

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
