How Sweet It Is

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

For I needed the shelter of someones arms
Darlin', there you were
When I needed someone to understand my ups and my downs
Oh, baby, there you were

With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I just can't stop, just to thank you, baby
I just want to stop, just to thank you, baby, yes I do

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

Well I'm gonna close my eyes at night now
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
And everything I was into which was just a bore
And everywhere I went I'd think I've been here before

But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop just to thank you, baby
I just want to stop just to thank you, baby, 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 was to myself
For me, there's you, baby, there ain't nobody else
I gotta stop so I can thank you, baby
I just want to stop like to thank you baby, yeah now

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Let's bring it on now

Well I just gotta stop and thank you, baby get down
And I think so strong, the feeling's so right
Stop and thank you, baby, baby
Love thing, love thing
Love thing, love thing
Gotta stop and thank you, baby

I say well now, well now, well now
Well now, well now, well now
Well now, well now, well now
Well now, well now, well now baby
To be loved be you

It's like a honey to the bee, baby
Sugar to the sugarcane
Jelly to the don't love
It's like a walk to a lonely man
Over and over

To be loved, to be loved, to be truly, truly loved
To be loved, to be loved, to be truly, truly loved
To be loved, to be loved, to be truly, truly loved
To be loved, to be loved, to be truly, truly loved
To be loved, to be loved, to be truly, truly loved, yeah

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

And it feels just about right
Feels alright tonight
To be loved by you
