Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you, And it was plain to see you were my destiny. With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride. I'll sacrifice for you dedicate my life for you. I will go where you lead always there in time of need. And when I lose my will you'll be there to push me up the hill. There's no, no looking back for us, we got love sure 'nough, that's enough. You're all, you're all I need to get by.
Like an eagle protects his nest for you I'll do my best, Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me. Darlin' in you I found strength where I was torn down Don't know what's in store but together we can open any door. Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher. I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goal. 'Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination. You're all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more. All, all the joys under the sun wrapp'd up into one.
I was born in Lil' Rock Had a childhood sweetheart We were always hand in hand
I was hightop shoes and shirt tails Suzy was in pig tails I know I loved her even then
You know my papa disapproved it My mama boohooed it But I told them time and time again "Don't you know I was made to love her Built a world all 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, ah!
My baby loves me My baby needs me And I know I ain't going nowhere
I was knee high to a chicken When that love bug bit me 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!
Ah, I was made to love her Built my world all around her Hey, hey, hey
Oo baby, I was made to please her You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no Hey, hey, hey
Oo wee baby, my baby loves me My baby needs me Hey, hey, hey
Now if you feel that you can't go on because all of your hope is gone, and your life is filled with much confusion until happiness is just an illusion, and your world around is crumblin' down; darling, reach out (come on girl, reach on out for me) reach out (reach out for me.) I'll be there, with a love that will shelter you. I'll be there, with a love that will see you through. I'll be there to always see you through.
When you feel lost and about to give up 'cause your best just ain't good enough and you feel the world has grown cold, and you're drifting out all on your own, and you need a hand to hold: darling, reach out (come on girl, reach out for me) reach out (reach out for me.) I'll be there, to love and comfort you, and I'll be there, to cherish and care for you. I'll be there to love and comfort you.
I can tell the way you hang your head, you're without love and now you're afraid and through your tears you look around, but there's no peace of mind to be found. I know what you're thinkin', you're alone now, no love of your own, but darling, reach out (come on girl, reach out for me) reach out (reach out for me.) Just look over your shoulder I'll be there, to give you all the love you need, and I'll be there, you can always depend on me.
Oh, no no baby You're alone all the time Does it ever puzzle you, did you ask why You seem to fall in love, and out again Do you ever really love or just pretend Oh, baby why fool yourself Don't be afraid to help yourself It's never too late, too late to Stop, look Listen to your heart, hear what it's saying Stop, look And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying Love, love, love Though you try, you can't hide All the things you really feel, this time decide That you will open up, and let it in There's no shame in sharing love you feel within So darling, just jump right in Head over heels, and fall right in 'Cause it's never too late too late to Stop, look And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying Stop, look And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying Love, love, love
Baby, I need your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Although you're never near Your voice I often hear
Another day Another night I long to hold you tight 'Cause I'm so lonely
Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'
Some say it's a sign of weakness For a man to beg Then weak I'd rather be If it means having you to keep 'Cause lately I've been losin' sleep
Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'
Empty nights Echo your name Oh sometimes I wonder Will I ever be the same? Oh yeah!
When you see me smile You know things have gotten worse Any smile you might see, darlin' Has all been rehearsed Darlin', I can't go on living without you This emptiness won't let me live without you Loneliness inside me, baby Makes me feel half alive
Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'
People say I'm the life of the party Cause I tell a joke or two Although I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue
[Chorus:] So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place Just look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl Seeming like I'm having fun Although she may be cute she's just a substitute 'Cause you're the permanent one
[Chorus]
Outside, I'm masquerading Inside, my hope is fading Just a clown, oh yeah since you put me down My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you
Mother, mother There's too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother There's far too many of you dying You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
Father, father We don't need to escalate You see, war is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me, so you can see Oh, what's going on What's going on Ya, what's going on Ah, what's going on
In the mean time Right on, baby Right on Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply because our hair is long Oh, you know we've got to find a way To bring some understanding here today Oh
Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me So you can see What's going on Ya, what's going on Tell me what's going on I'll tell you what's going on - Uh Right on baby Right on baby
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet But only for one night with no repeat. And maybe you'll go away and never call, And a taste of honey is worse that none at all. Oh little girl!
In that case I don't want nobody I do believe that that would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me If you got the notion, I Second That Emotion. So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion I Second That Emotion.
Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down And you don't have the time to hang around. Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools, And so it makes you wise to break the rules. Oh little girl!
In that case I don't want nobody I do believe that that would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me If you got the notion, I Second That Emotion. So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion I Second That Emotion.
In that case I don't want nobody I do believe that that would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me If you got the notion, I Second That Emotion. So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion I Second That Emotion.
