[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks]
Girl, as you walk by, I breathe a sigh
And deep inside I knew it had to be
This little girl is mine
And for a little while I heard a strange rhapsody
Mhm
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
So lovely and so fair (Fair)
I knew right then and there (There)
That you were made for me
And it wasn't hard to see
I guess I was born to love you (Born to love you)
Born to love you (Born to love you)
Mhm (Born to love you)
Honey I, I was born to love you
Give my love to no one but you
[Bridge: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)]
Here stands a man, with his future in your hands
Don't let go (Don't let go)
Don't let go (Don't let go)
Baby, don't let it go (Don't let go)
Please (Don't let go)
[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks]
You better come on and take my hand
'Cause I don't understand this crazy feeling in my soul
But I know that I would rather die, than let this feeling go
Now girl can't you see (See)
That this was meant to be (Be)
It's funny but it's true
I guess I was just born to love you (Born to love you)
[Outro: Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, (The Temptations)]
Darling... (Born to love you)
Darling I... (Born to love you)
I was born... (Born to love you)
Born to love only you (Born to love you)
Why don't you believe... (Born to love you)
Believe what I tell you, baby (Born to love you)
I was born to love only you (Born to love you)
(Born to love you)
Darling... (Born to love you)
I... (Born to love you)
Oh, our love is true (Born to love you)
Girl, as you walk by, I breathe a sigh
And deep inside I knew it had to be
This little girl is mine
And for a little while I heard a strange rhapsody
Mhm
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
So lovely and so fair (Fair)
I knew right then and there (There)
That you were made for me
And it wasn't hard to see
I guess I was born to love you (Born to love you)
Born to love you (Born to love you)
Mhm (Born to love you)
Honey I, I was born to love you
Give my love to no one but you
[Bridge: David Ruffin & (The Temptations)]
Here stands a man, with his future in your hands
Don't let go (Don't let go)
Don't let go (Don't let go)
Baby, don't let it go (Don't let go)
Please (Don't let go)
[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks]
You better come on and take my hand
'Cause I don't understand this crazy feeling in my soul
But I know that I would rather die, than let this feeling go
Now girl can't you see (See)

It's funny but it's true

Darling... (Born to love you)
Darling I... (Born to love you)
I was born... (Born to love you)
Born to love only you (Born to love you)
Why don't you believe... (Born to love you)
Believe what I tell you, baby (Born to love you)
I was born to love only you (Born to love you)
(Born to love you)
Darling... (Born to love you)
I... (Born to love you)
Oh, our love is true (Born to love you)
