LYRICS
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) by Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland & Edward Holland

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

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 want to stop and thank you, baby
I wanna stop and thank you baby, yes I do

How sweet it is to be loved by you
Feels so fine
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'd been there before

But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I wanna stop and thank you, baby
I just wanna stop and thank you baby, oh yes

How sweet it is to be loved by you
It's like sugar sometimes
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I wanna stop and thank you, baby
I just wanna stop and thank you baby, oh now

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
It's like jelly, baby, oh now

How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh now
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Just like honey to the bee baby, yeah now
Na, na, na, to be loved by you
