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
