I needed the shelter of someone's arms
And there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
And there you wereWith sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I wanna stop and thank you baby
I just wanna stop and thank you babyHow sweet it is to be loved by you
Like honey to the bee, baby
How sweet it is to be loved by youI 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 beforeBut 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 babyOh now, how sweet it is to be loved by you
Like sugar to my soul baby
How sweet it is to be loved by youYou 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 babyHow sweet it is to be loved by you
Like sugar to my soul baby
How sweet it is to be loved by youNo 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
