I was born in Lil' Rock, Had a childhood sweetheart, We were always hand in hand. I was high-top 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 blossomed 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. OO my baby loves me...

We fill our lives with empty memories (We've had enough, we've had enough) We've risked it all, didn't mean anything (I'm giving up, I'm giving up) It started with hatred You left me here, departed Distorted, we played it But am I gonna save it? Pick up the pieces, before you let this go Faded in, faded out The feelings gone, it's like we're enemies Checking in, checking out We're strangers now, but I don't believe that Love was made to break No, I don't believe that Love was made to break We rise and fall, with our own misery (I've built the wall, I've built the wall) The sirens call that brought you here to me (We lost control, we lost control) So when this comes crashing And we are losing chances Won't see it in our eyes Till it's too late to fix this Pick up the pieces, before we let this go Faded in, faded out The feelings gone, it's like we're enemies Checking in, checking out We're strangers now, but I don't believe that Love was made to break No, I don't believe that Love was made to break It seems we live for a fight But I can't feel it tonight So now I'm leaving so numb But I feel terrified Cause I am losing my mind Trying to make it all right Trying to see this all through To the other side To the other side To the other side Faded in, faded out The feelings gone, it's like we're enemies Checking in, checking out We're strangers now, but I don't believe Faded in, faded out The feelings gone, it's like we're enemies Checking in, checking out We're strangers now, but I don't believe that Love was made to break No, I don't believe that Love was made to break

If I changed my mind If I changed my faith Every time a stop light signaled Each time I made mistakes I don't think that I would be where I am today I live my life without regrets What you see is, what you see is What you see is what you get and I'm Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed, unashamed Adding up my life, it totals all my dreams I'm counting all my blessings and the gifts I have received Still there's always someone, something to overcome Took all my life to understand that I am what I am, who I am Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed Do you wanna know how it goes? Do you wanna control how I feel? Do you wanna stay in my life? Then listen here and listen good You got to get it, got to get it, got to get it right Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed

Got me a postcard and a twenty dollar bill I told you I'd meet you in Memphis if you bring me those pills And I got high and I got dry for far too long And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me along They called me the wild card And they called me their fool I told them I'd bring 'em that money If they'd get me back to you And I got cash and I got robbed for all I own And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me back home I got clean and I got a steady job No longer was I running from the emblems of the law And I got clean and I got mean to the bone And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone

Met a girl at the party last night, With gold in her eyes, And little alibies to fool me. Had venom on her lips, Painted finger tips, Used my chest pockets To hold her cigarettes, and number, And I wonder, If I'll see her again. She said, boy if you really wanna write a song, You better stop waiting to take me home, And let me talk to you. Whatever you wanna do. Baby, don't make me wait anymore, If that other girl cared, She'd be right at the door, to stop me, And if you love her, Then come a little closer, And let me change that for you. Met a girl at the party last night, With bad ideas, but real good pills To hold me. Baby blue eyes, Without the sunshine, She locked me in her room, And took her sweet time. I wonder, if I'm just another, Notch on the post. She said, boy if you really wanna write a song, You better stop waiting to take me home, And let me talk to you. Whatever you wanna do. Baby, don't make me wait anymore, If that other girl cared, She'd be right at the door, to stop me, And if you love her, Then come a little closer, And let me change that for you. Met a girl at the party last night, With vicious intentions, To find another victim to haunt me. Twisted up knives, The back of my spine, Taryn me to pieces, The reasons I write, I wonder, if I'm just another, Ghost you used to know... She said, boy if you really wanna write a song, You better stop waiting to take me home, And let me talk to you. Whatever you wanna do. Baby, don't make me wait anymore, If that other girl cared, She'd be right at the door, to stop me, And if you love her, Then come a little closer, And let me change that for you. Met a girl at the party last night.
