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
