                                 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 brighten 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 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

                                 You were better for me than I was for 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

                                 How sweet it is to be loved by you
                                 How sweet it is to be loved by you
