[Chorus]
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Listen, baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you

[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

[Pre-Chorus]
Babe, I want to stop and thank you, baby
I just want to stop and thank you, baby, yeah

[Chorus]
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

[Verse 2]
Close my eyes at night
And I wonder where would I be without you in my life
Everything was just a bore
All the things I did, it seems I’ve done 'em before
But you've brightened up all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to stop and thank you, baby
I just want to stop and thank you, baby

[Chorus]
How sweet it is to be loved by you, ooh, ooh, ooh
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Do-do, do, ooh, do, ooh, do, ooh, ooh
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

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

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to stop and thank you, baby
I just want to stop and thank you, baby
Yeah

[Chorus]
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Listen, babe
How sweet it is to be loved by you, by you, by you, by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh, oh, oh, oh
How sweet it is to be loved by you
