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 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, feels so fine 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, yes I
do,
how sweet it is to be loved by you How sweet it is to be loved by you
Feels so fine, how sweet it is to be loved by you
Just like jelly baby, oh yeah, how sweet it is to be loved by you
