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 wanna stop and thank you, baby
I wanna 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've been there before
But you brightened up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I wanna stop and thank you, baby
I wanna 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 for me than I was to myself
For me there is you
And there ain't nobody else
I wanna stop and thank you, baby
I wanna stop and thank you, baby

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