How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You
Songwriters: Holland, Brian/Dozier, Lamont Herbert/Holland, Edward, Jr.
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 just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
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 want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
You were better for me than I was for myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
In the Mood
Words by Andy Razaf, Music by Joe Garland
Who's the lovin' lady with the beautiful eyes
What a pair o' lips, I'd like to try 'em for size
I'll just tell her, "Baby, won't you swing it with me"
Hope she tells me maybe, what a wing it will be
So, I said politely "Darlin' may I intrude"
She said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood"
First I held her lightly and we started to dance
Then I held her tightly what a dreamy romance
And I said "Hey, baby, it's a quarter to three
There's a mess of moonlight, won't-cha share it with me"
"Well" she answered "Baby, don't-cha know that it's rude
To keep my two lips waitin' when they're in the mood"
In the mood, that's what she told me
In the mood, and when she told me
In the mood, my heart was skippin'
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now"
In the mood for all her kissin'
In the mood her crazy lovin'
In the mood what I was missin'
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now"
So, I said politely "Darlin' may I intrude"
She said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood"
"Well" she answered "Baby, don't-cha know that it's rude
To keep my two lips waitin' when they're in the mood"
