needed a shelter of someone's arms
There you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
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...ooh yeah
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wonderin' where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went 
Seems I've bee there before
But you brightened up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so may ways

I want to stop, and thank you baby
I just want to stop - and thank you baby...ooh yeah
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Oh all right..

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me there is you and nobody else
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
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

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