How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)

[Intro]
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Oh baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Ooh

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I wanna stop, and thank you, baby
I wanna stop, and thank you, baby, oh yes
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Yes baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Don't you know, darlin'?

[Verse 2]
I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life?
Everything 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

[Chorus]
I wanna stop, and thank you, baby
I wanna stop, and thank you, baby, oh yes
How sweet it is to be loved by you (Yes darlin', don't you know?)
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah, mmm mmm

[Bridge]
You were better to me than I been to myself
For me, there's you, and there ain't nobody else

[Chorus]
I wanna stop, and thank you, baby
I wanna stop, and thank you, baby, oh now
How sweet it is to be loved by you (Don't you know, baby?)
Oh, How sweet it is to be loved by you (Don't you know, baby?)
How sweet it is to be loved by you (Yes darling, oh now)
