Lyrics:

I was born in Newark,
Had a childhood sweetheart,
We were always hand in hand.

He wore hightop shoes and shirt tails,
Nip was in pig tails,
I know I loved him even then.

You know some disapproved it,
They even boohooed it,
But I told them time and time again,

You know I was made to love him,
Built my world around him
Yah! 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 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 him,
Worship and adore him,
Yes Say, Hey, hey, hey.

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

My baby loves me,
My baby needs me,
And I know I ain't going nowhere.

I was just a little thang
When that love bug bit me,
I had the fever with each passing year.

If ocean tumbles,
And the whole world crumbles,
By his side I'll still be standing there.

'Cause I was made to love him,
I was made to live for him say yeah!
Ah, I was made to love him,
Built my world all around him,
Say Hey, hey, hey.

I love my baby
Nip aint goin no where,
Say Hey, hey, hey.
Say Hay, hay, hay.
Hey, hey, hey

Oooh hey I love him uhahh
(Lauryn Hill: I love him, I love him)
Yall dont know nothin

Built my world all around him say
Hey, hey, hey
(Lauryn Hill: Naa Naa!)

Ooooh!

Cant cha tell yall
Hey, hey, hey
Been my inspiration,
Showed my inspiration
Hey, hey, hey.

Didn't they say this was just them fooling around in the studio and then Clive put it on the cd as a hidden track. Can't imagine what it would have been like if they had put their all in it. Good track. Better than some of the stuff people spend months trying to put together

Whitney did Stevie Wonder proud. Her vocals are through the ROOF on this! "Nippy was in pig tails..." ;-)

[josipmickovic]

omg, i had this on cassette rec from radio and the Dj gurgled at Whitney's part cos at that time all knew about Bobby and it was just lame of her to sing for him ... she was the last to see that sadly .. RIP Whitney

@freeminder66 Seriously, I'm thinking the same. Too many legends are dying.

[BlackStarLeo]

Vocally, this one of my favorite Whitney songs. THAT VOICEEE. Stevie, Whitney, and Lauryn Hill all in the same studio. Wow.

wwwgreatbuyoutletscom wwwtopfuelsavercom (with a side glance).] Yes, I can. That was exceedingly lucky. How -- lucky? Mother can take photographs, too. Oh, yes; I was bound to learn that. So it is really you that carry on the business, I suppose? He is a great deal taken up with his old father, I daresay. I quite agree with you; but having once gone in for the thing -- Of course not; but still --

[ [A shot is fired within the garret.] (starting up).] What's that? Ugh!

[Thumblues]

Lauryn Hill made a nice tribute to Whitney. If only the love being shown now was shown then. God bless you

[Thumblues]

There's a marriage made in heaven. Fantastic. I wonder if there is other stuff of this quality in the vaults?

[kennethgabriel]
