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; there you were.
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs; 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.
Ev’rything I did was just a bore; ev’rywhere I went, 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.
(Instrumental) You were better to me than I was 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.
How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
How sweet it is to be loved by you.
