How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you



I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were

I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were

With sweet love and devotion

deeply touching my emotion

I want to stop and thank you baby

I just want to stop and thank you baby



How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you



I close my eyes at night,

Wondering where would I be without you in my life

Everything I did was just a bore,

everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before

But you brightened up for me all of my days

With a love so sweet in so many ways

I want to stop and thank you baby

I want to stop and thank you baby



How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you



You were better to me than I've been to myself

For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else

I want to stop and thank you baby

I just want to stop and thank you baby



(repeat and fade):

How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you
