Gaye, Marvin - How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) Lyrics
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
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
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brightened 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 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 to me than I've been to 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
[Repeat and fade:]
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Gaye, Marvin How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) Comments
Kinda nostalgic of what african-american were capable to produce musically. Wish I grew up in those days, with true beautiful songs instead of the "hip-hop" ; "rap" or idk, where there are such no meanings or talent compare to old music IMO. Gonna tell my kids I didn't grew up with good music, but I know good songs at least !
BOLD. Lyrical duet
LOVE Sweet and kind BETTER than Eating from a apples core. Such an effective couple
These guys during this era all had musical talent. I am glad I had the opportunity to enjoy this great music.
Nobody loves me more than my baby does. Thank you, my love.
It does not get better than Marvin Gaye, a beautiful man with a heavenly voice.
Motown music never forgotton from Malta
SO GOOD ... LEGEND
Since Gaye didn't write the tune I still think that Junior Walker has the best version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akrcr16whB4
My music taste is quite crazy. Ranging from heavy metal to r&b Motown. Love Marvin Gaye, sang this to my Ukrainian fiancee.
My all time greatest singer
Thank You Marvin
Thank you JESUS!!!!!!! Record.. 3 crashes in a row..bahaha
Wow great voice and he was so cute sad he is gone rip Marvin Gaye
This song is for my sweet baby boy who understands my ups n downs and still loves his mumma 😍
I want to thank you baby...
You were better to me than I was to myself 😉😜
Gosh!! How much present music sucks..!
How sweet it is to be loved by Anyone 💘❤💕💖💟🌹❌⭕❌⭕🙏💞😘
Si cool cette chanson de Marvin toujours aussi bon en 2019 !
A thousand times better than than that God awful James Taylor version. Taylor has NO feeling in his voice.
A beautiful gem of a tune to cry and make memories from how sweet it is😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
cant decide between this and Junior Walker..
katy lied, for me, junior just about betters marvins version, junior takes you on a roller coaster ride
Hope MG Estate cashed in from JT. Listen to this one. Epic, yet tragic.
I WANNA STOP N THANK U BABY🕺💃🕺
Thank you Jesus how sweet it is to be loved by you💖Thank you Marvin Gaye RIP my brother.
1999 oz and Heather 💚
Nobody can remake this song half as good as the original. RIP Marvin
Brendan Shay Graham my darling 👨👩👧👦
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
rest in peace marvin you still got it going on
“How sweet it is to be loved by you 🍯❤️❤️❤️”
Had all of his records. Loved to dance to all of his music. He was an amazing performer and what a voice!!
To the 193 that dislikes this song FUCK YOU EAT A DICK!!!
You can hear the strong church gospel influence in this song, from the sound of the backup choir, the tambourine and marvin's style of singing. The whole composition of this song screams gospel. I see why christians call this secular music. If this was a regular gospel song, they would be saying 'stop and thank you jesus'.
I DON'T TRAVEL AROUND THE HOLIDAYS
BUT I ENJOY MY LONEY
SAD AND GOOD TIMES
WITH MOTOWN'S OWN
GREAT 60TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION FOR A
A LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD CEREMONY THEY ARE SO GENUINE AND FROM
THERE, MY NEXT AMAZING JOURNEY WILL BE THOSE GREAT
SOUNDS OF PHILLY'S OWN 2 OF THE GREATEST
SONGWRITERS AND EXCUTIVE MUSIC PRODUCERS
THE LATE AND GREAT
KENNY GAMBLE AND LEON HUFF THAT SCORED TO NATURAL
OF GREATNESS WITH PERFECTION
The Drums, bass line, piano riff is amazing!! Can't help but dance/ move to this classic! Grew up listening to this! Mom & Dad were Motown people! I guaratee you will feel something good in your soul while listening to Marvin Gaye! The best!
My mom taught how to bobb to this,This was the last song we dance too. RIP mom, I love you.
When i picture what youve described , it sounds beautiful.
James Taylor's version is good but with Gaye's fabulous voice and The Funk Brother's unforgettable Motown sound this song is so much better, RIP all Motown singers we have lost.
This guy Marvin Gaye one of best singers in any time the best
Awww......thank you for this sweet feeling as well.
Still sweet in 2019. RIP Marvin Gaye.
MARVIN GAYE SINGS MY LIFE IN THIS SONG. I was in just such a state when I was 22 years old and Marvin Sr. got the so called "SEVEN YEAR ITCH!!!" I was young, inexperienced and expecting my third child. This song came out when I was about 9 years old. The rest is history in my life!!! I met my second husband and we were in the love and almost inseparable for 38 years, until he fell asleep in death in 2012. 😍😋😍
I like James Taylors version better even though this is the original version
That it how can I thank u love
I think American Pie got me here
This song came on while at work and lifted everyone’s mood. 🥰
Chris OZ and Heather sing it great too..
I GREW UP WITH THE BEST OF
MARVIN GAYE'S MUSIC LISTENING
TO THEM AT ANNA, BESSIE & JOYCE
RENT PARTIES & I WILL ALWAYS LOVE
MARVIN GAYES MUSIC, AND
NOW "PRIDE AND JOY" WILL ALWAYS
BE MY FAVORITE SONG SINCE HE SANG IN DETAILS WHAT HIS WOMAN MEANT TO HIM
AND YOU KNOW IT WOULD EVEN
BE GREAT IF ALL MEN LEARN HOW 2
DO THE SAME, & STOP PLAYING
MIND GAMES W/THE LADIES
"THOSE WANNA BE PLAYERS"
ACT YOUR AGE, NOT THEIR SHOE
SIZE,
GROW UP AND BE REAL MEN
LIKE "AFTER 7, PEABO BRYSON,
JIMMY JAMM & TERRY LEWIS
BABYFACE, THE ISLEY BROTHERS,
JUST TO NAME A FEW
YES REAL THAT KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE
THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE VERY BEST
OF THEIR ABILITY.
NOW THE WANNA BE PLAYERS ONLY PLAY THEMSELVES &
END UP LOSING A GOOD WOMAN
THAT TRULY LOVE THEM WHOLE HEART AND SOUL,
NOW WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS
LEARN THEIR LESSON B4 THEY LOSE
THEIR LIVES BEHIND BARS DOING
SERIOUS TIME, FOR SERIOUS CRIMES
SO LEARN FROM THE WISE,
AND LET MARVIN GAYE &
"SMOKEY ROBINSON TEACH THEM
"THE REAL DEAL", OTHERWISE YOU
WASTING MY TIME, THAT I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE,
SO IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE S.O.S
STUCK ON STUPID, AGAIN YOU'RE
WASTING MY TIME I DON'T HAVE
TO GIVE
Marvin planted the Motown seeds in the ground, don't care who you ask
I'm here from American pie
I can't believe that either. This is a Classic Masterpiece!!!😍😎😎
Marvin, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Príncipe
You tube Family around the world wish Marvin Gaye Happy birthday he gone to soon but never forgotten 🙏😎👑💿🎤🎁🎂💙🎈🎈🎈🍇🍇🍇🎇⭐⭐⭐⭐🌠🌠
james taylor did a good job but... marvin gaye marvin gaye marvin gaye enough said
💔🕊🙏
Classic Marvelous Marvin! RIH! My Jam and My Man here! Was played alot in my house! Much Love!
Brother Marvin!!!
I prefer the James Taylor version.
"How sweet it is", was a catch-phrase of the great- one, Jackie Gleason back in the early sixties.
The Funk Brothers are all over this. And the Andantes??
I Love This Music
C O N G R A U L A T I O N S
"MOTOWN"
H A P P Y 60th ANNIVERSARY
AND TO THE LATE AND GREAT
"MARVIN GAYE"
YOU KNOW I HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN
THOSE AMAZING MOTOWN SOUNDS
IS ALWAYS "THE BEST MEDICINE"
THAT BRINGS HEALING AND
COMFORT TO MY SOUL,
AND TO START THEM OFF WITH
THE PRINCE OF R&B, POP,
MR. MARVIN GAYE WITHOUT A
DOUBT, AND IT'S GREAT TO HEAR HIS
#1 CLASSIC HIT EVEN TODAY IN 2019
BUT I MUST SAY "MARVIN GAYE" WAS
ANOTHER MUSICAL GENIUS FROM
THOSE AMAZING ROOTS OF "MOTOWN SOUNDS"
NEXT TO GOD & CHRIST AND I WOULDN'T PREFER IT ANY OTHER WAY
BUT WHEN HE PASSED AWAY, FAMILIES WORLDWIDE WAS
DEVASTATED BY HIS LOSS
BECAUSE HE MUSIC WAS LIKE A
FAMILY, MEMBER IN EVERYONE'S
HOUSEHOLD, HE WAS YOUR PLAY
COUSIN, & BROTHER, YES HIS MUSIC IS TRULY AMAZING, AND WILL LIVE
ON IN HISTORY,
Didn't know that the song is so old.
How Sweet it Is To Listen to Marvin !
This the sing that started my love for Marvin Gaye. I was 8 years old and thought he was the finest man on earth. To this day I still have not laid my eyes on anyone as fine as Marvin Gaye💞
He was one of the greats of all time, loved him so much!
😊💖🎶yes! 😊
Oh he sang from heart
You mean he is the best..
To people who dislike this something is really wrong with you.
Those are the ones that'll say chris brown can out sing Marvin
@Joseph Walker Chris Brown cant beat Marvin in a singing contest. But he can beat Rhianna jajajajaj
,@Edmonton Videographer & Video Production | Third Born Entertainment
Such a handsome man. Beautiful song.
Hate to say It but James Taylor version is better...Coming from Marvin Gaye Fan! James version is more easier. To listen to..not being blasphemous but have to acknowledge the truth hard to near it though..but he made a better redition of this song.. I'm already braced for the negativity comments..Shoot!
👍🏻
I wanna STOP! 2019👍👍 STOP! & THANK YOU Baby! How Sweet it is to be 💜💜💜By You! Rip 👑 Leagend 👍👍
👍🏻💥👍🏻
🎶🎶💘💘Truly made My Day!!!
Excellent Marvin Gaye !

Swinging days with wide suite men perm hair , women with class and not so classy beer cheap big Cadillac outside fun not a negro trying to rob shooting dice in the alley junkyard dog sleep 5:00 in the morning leaving the old juke house some in church next morning some I'm home and said I had a damn good time is it some leftover fish we fried
In ,2019 sweet to even see my comment and thank the Lord to be loved
Perfect Sunday morning music. Love you Marvin

Still missing that sexy voice,😘

As a kid...I remember the house parties my parents used to have... & this song being in heavy rotation! And the folks that had to bring their kids meant we had our own party too! LOL #Memories #ThoseWereTheDays!

That’s why Marvin Gaye Loved working with James Jamerson
INDEED, how sweet it to be love by you, thank you
Thats ironic. Marvin Gaye was shot and killed in 1984 by his own father.
How sweet it is to listen to this bad ass song!
How sweet it is to be loved by anyone.
Is this vinyl cuz it sounds too clean. If it’s not vinyl there shouldn’t be pictures of the original 45 or picture sleeve
Marvin Gaye – lead vocals
The Andantes – backing vocals
The Funk Brothers – instrumentation
All star line up.
Nuff said!
