"You Were Made for Me"
A boat was made to sail on the sea
As sure as there are stars above
I know, I know, you were made for me
You were made for me
A grape was made to grow on a vine
An apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there are stars above
I know, I know, you were made for me (oh-oh-oh) hummm
We'll have our quarrels and you'll upset me
But what can I do? Hummm
You've been mine ever since I met you and I'll never leave you
No, I'll never leave you
As sure as there's a heaven up above me
From you, I know, I'll never be free
As sure as there are stars above
I know, I know, you were made for me (oh-oh-oh) hummn
(A fish was made to swim in the ocean)
A fish was made to swim in the ocean
(A boat was made to sail on the sea)
A boat was made to sail on the sea
As sure as there are stars above
I know, I know, you were made for me (you were made for me)
You were made for me
(A grape was made to grow on a vine)
A grape was made to grow on a vine
(An apple was made to grow on a tree)
An apple, an apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there are stars above
I know, I know, you were made for me hummm
We'll have our quarrels and you'll upset me
But what can I do? (Baby what can I do?) Hummm
You've been mine ever since I met you
And, I'll never, never, never, never, never, never leave you
As sure as there's a heaven up above me
From you, I know, I'll never be free, no, no
As sure as there are stars above
I know, I know, you were made for me (oh-oh-oh) hummm-
