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
