How Sweet It Is (Live at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, September 1, 1989) lyrics

[Chorus]
How sweet it is to be loved by you
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
There you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna stop (Stop), and thank you, baby
I wanna stop (Stop), and thank you, baby

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

[Verse 2]
I open my eyes at night
I wonder what I'd be without you in my life
Everything was such a bore
All the things I've done you know I've done 'em before
But you brightened up all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to stop (Stop) and thank you, baby
I want to stop (Stop) and thank you, baby

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I open my eyes at night
Wonder what I'd be without you in my life
Everything was such a bore
All the things I've done you know I've done 'em before
You brightened up all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna stop (Stop) and thank you, baby
I wanna stop (Stop) and thank you, baby

[Chorus]
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
[Outro]
(Sweeter than the honey from the bees, baby)
How sweet it is to be loved by you
(Loved by you, loved by you)
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
