"I Was Made To Love Her"
by Stevie Wonder, Lulu Mae Hardaway, 
Sylvia Moy & Henry Cosby


I was born in Lil' Rock,
4 -3* -3*  3* -3*   -2
Had a child-hood sweet-heart,
1*  1* -2     3    3*   -2
We were al-ways hand in hand.
3*  3*  3*  3*   -3* 3*  -3
I wore high-top shoes and shirt tails,
3* 3*   -3  -2   -2   -1   3*    -2
Su-zy was in pig tails,
3* 3* -3* 3* -3*  -2
I knew I loved her e-ven then.
3* 3*  3* -3*  3* 3* 3*   3*   

You know my pa-pa dis-ap-proved it,
3*   -3* 3* -1 -1 -2  -1  -3    1
My ma- ma boo-hooed it,
3* -3* 3* -3* 3* 4  -2 
But I told them time and time a-gain,
3*  3* 3*   3*   -3* -3*  3* -3  -2
"Don't you know I was made to love her,
3*      3*  3* -3* -2  3*  -2  -2   -2
Built my world all a-round her"
1*    1*  -2   -1* 1* 1*   -2
Yah! Hey, hey, hey.
      -2   3  -33-2

She's been my in- spi-ra-tion,
4      4   -3*-3* 3* -3*  -2
Showed ap-pre-ci-a-tion
1*     1* -2  3 3* -2
For the love I gave her through the years.
3*   3   3*  3* -3* 3*   -3      -3  -2
Like a sweet mag-nol-ia tree
3*   3* -3   -2  -2  -1  3*
My love blos-somed ten-der-ly,
-2  -2   3*    3*  -3*  3* -3*-2
My love grew sweet-er through the years.
3*  3*   3*   -3*  3*   3*     3*  3*
I know that my ba-by loves me,
3* -3* 3*   1  -1 -2  -1  -3 1
My ba-by needs me,
3* -3*3* -3*   4 -2
That's why we made it through the years.
3*      3* 3*  -3* -3*  3*     -3  -2

I was made to love her,
3* 3* -3*  3*  -2  -2
Wor-ship and a-dore her,
-2   -2  -1* 1* 1*  -2
Hey, hey, hey.
-2    3  -33-2
All through thick and thin
-3    -2      -2   -2  -2
Our love just won't end,
3*  -3*  -2    -2   -2
'Cause I love my ba-by, love my ba-by. Ah!
-1    -2 -3*  3* -2 -2  -3*  3* -2 -2  -6
My ba-by loves me,
4  -3*-3* 3*  -3*
My ba-by needs me,
-2 1* 1*   3   3*
And I know I ain't go-ing no-where.
3* -2 3*3 3*  3*  -3*  3* -3  -2
I was knee high to a chick-en
3* 3*  -3   -2  -2 -1 3*   -2
When that love bug bit me,
-2    3*   3*  -3*  3* -3*
I had the fev-er with each pass-ing year.
3* 3* 3*  -3*-3*  3*   3*   3*   3*  -2
Oh, ev-en if the moun-tain tum-bles,
3* -3* 3* 1   -1  -2   -1   -3  1
If this whole world crumb-les,
3*  -3*  3*    -3*   4     -2
By her side I'll still be stand-ing there.
3* 3*   3*   3*   -3* -3*  3*   -3   -2

'Cause I was made  to love her,
3*     3* 3* -2    3*  -2  -2  	
I was made to live for her, 
1* 1*  -2  -1* 1*  1*   -2 
yeah! Hey, hey, hey.
      -2    3  -33-2
Ah, I was made to love her,
-6  3* 3*  -3* -2  -2  -2
Build my world all a-round her,
3*    3*  -3*  -3* 3* -3*   3*
Hey, hey, hey.
-2    3  -33-2

Oo ba-by, I was made to please her,
4 -3* -2  3* 3* -3*  -2  -2     -2	
You know Ste-vie ain't gon-na leave her, no,
3*   3*   -3*-3*  -3*   3* -3* -3*   3*  -2	 
Hey, hey, hey.
-2    3  -33-2
