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 just wanna stop and thank you baby      How sweet it is to be loved by you   Like honey to the bee, baby   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 was just a bore   All the things I did seemed undone never before      But you brighten up all my days   With a love so sweet in so many ways   I wanna, I wanna thank you baby   I just wanna thank you baby      Oh now, how sweet it is to be loved by you   Like sugar to my soul baby   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 thank you baby   I just wanna stop and thank you baby      How sweet it is to be loved by you   Like sugar to my soul baby   How sweet it is to be loved by you      No baby, how sweet it is, how sweet it is now baby   Oh no, like sugar to my soul baby   Hey, 'coz I love you baby   No, you make me something baby   When I'm loved by you, I close my eyes at night
