words and music by Holland/Dozier/Holland
I needed the shelter of someone’s arms
And there you were.
I needed someone who understands my ups and downs
And there you were.
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotions,
I wanna stop (stop!), thank you baby.
I wanna stop (stop!).
How sweet it is to be loved by you.
How sweet it is to be loved by you, you.
I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life.
Every thing I did was such a bore.
Everywhere I went, seems I’d been there before.
But you brightened up my days
Love so sweet in so many ways.
I wanna stop (stop!) and thank you baby.
I wanna top (stop!).
How sweet it is to be loved by you.
How sweet it is to be loved by you, you, you, you.
You were better to me than I was to myself.
For me there’s you, there ain’t nobody else
I wanna stop (stop) and thank you baby.
I wanna top (stop).
How sweet it is to be loved by you.
How sweet it is to be loved by you, you, you, you.
I wanna stop (stop!).
