Audio"Sweet Love" on YouTube

The song was Baker's first big hit single, peaking at number two on the US Billboard R&B chart, number three on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, and number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1986.[4] In the UK, it reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number 21 on Canada's Top Singles chart.[5][6]

"Sweet Love" won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song at the 29th Annual Grammy Awards (1987).

Composition[edit]

"Sweet Love" was originally published in the key of B♭ major, and is written in common time with a tempo of 89 beats per minute.[7] Baker's vocals span from E3 to D5.[8]

Critical reception[edit]

Daryl Easlea of the BBC said that Baker's voice "rings like a bell", and that "Sweet Love" is one of the three most memorable tracks on Rapture. He felt that the lyrics might have sounded trite if sung by a different artist, but that Baker imbued them with "so much passion and wonderment" that they sound like "old love sonnets" brought back to life.[9]

Awards[edit]

Baker won two Grammys at the 29th Annual Grammy Awards (1987). "Sweet Love" was selected as Best R&B Song, earning her (along with Gary Bias and Louis Johnson) a songwriting award.[10] Also, the album containing this song, Rapture, won in the category Best Female R&B Vocal performance.[10]

Don't worry, you don't have to compose a Shakespearean sonnet to impress her (though we included a few on this list, just in case!). “The most important aspect is that it’s in your own words in a way that’s meaningful to you," Mouhtis adds.Dr. Ashley Lowe-Simmons, DSW, LCSW-C, FSW, and host of Convos With a Clinician echoes Mouhtis' sentiment, adding that love notes "allow outward expression of inward feelings."When it comes time to figure out what to write, Lowe-Simmons recommends the following formula: "Acknowledge your partner, boost up the areas that need improvement and acknowledge those things that are done well." Mouhtis suggests tapping into your romantic — albeit cheesy — side. "It’s OK to be corny! What matters is that the message is meaningful and true to your love for your partner — no matter what that sounds like," she says.Of course, even the greatest writers take inspiration from others. Below, we compiled a list of sweet, silly, and sentimental sayings to send the woman in your life. You can customize any of these suggestions to reflect the unique qualities of your relationship. From a short text before date night, to a longer missive for your long-distance love, these messages, lyrics, and quotes will deepen the bond between you and your partner.Short and sweet love messages for her “Good morning, beautiful. I’m thinking of you today and every day.” A random “good morning” note will start her day with a smile on her face. “She will also appreciate hearing that you are thinking of her, especially if your lives are busy right now," Mouhtis adds.“Every time I am in your presence it is a reminder of why I'm married to you. I just love being near you.” “This is a good message for your partner because it acknowledges the role of being present in the presence of our partners,” Lowe-Simmons says. Tailor this message to your relationship status. If you’re not married, simply swap in “why you’re my girlfriend” or “why you’re my fiancée” for “why I married you.”“I can’t wait to see you later. Be ready in your PJs to watch our show.” “Nothing makes her more excited than knowing she can be her full comfortable self around you," Mouhtis says. "When you reassure her that she can be in her pajamas and you still have a great time with her, you’re saying to her that she can feel safe to be comfortable with you." Plus, this message shows you're eager for a night together. “Telling her that you are excited to see her later will show her that even though you’ve been together for quite some time, coming home to her is still the best part of your day. Excitement keeps the spark alive!” “You know what ... you’re right!” This suggestion from Siera Phillips, M.S.Ed., LCPC, had us laughing, but it’s so true. “Always tell a woman she’s right no matter the circumstances,” Phillips tells TODAY.com.“I choose you, today and every day for the rest of our lives.” Your partner is the most special person in the world to you, and nobody could ever take her place. Show her that you’re forever devoted to her.“I’m your number 1 fan.” “Showing her that you are fanatically infatuated with her will make her smile,” Phillips says. If you want to make this message just a touch longer, consider adding one or two reasons why you’re rooting for her so hard these days.“Just a reminder that you'll always be the Pam to my Jim.” Mouhtis suggests this funny love message for fans of The Office, but feel free to swap in any lovebirds from your go-to show. “A character’s on-screen romance says a thousand words, and will be sure to bring a smile on her face."“I just sent some money to your account to go shopping!” “Need I explain more?” Phillips says. “I loved you yesterday, I love you today, and I look forward to loving you every day for the rest of my life.” In one succinct sentence, you can sum up how much she means to you. “This love note is a promise to love your partner every day and is just so full of love,” Sameera Sullivan, a matchmaker and relationship expert, tells TODAY.com.“You are an answered prayer. I had a desire to have three things in a partner and you are all three of those things.” Think about all the qualities you dreamed of in a partner — and see how she stacks up. Lowe-Simmons suggests writing this note and seeing if she can guess what those three things are, or adding a few lines to explain it for yourself.“You’re my person.” Take a cue from “Grey’s Anatomy” and tell your partner that she will always hold the number one spot in your heart.“This song is the perfect depiction of how you make me feel.” Hear a song that reminds you of her and can’t help but smile? Let her know with this love message from Lowe-Simmons. (Or scroll down for some more love messages inspired by song lyrics to get the wheels turning.) “Aren’t you tired? You’ve been running through my mind all day.” Cheesy as it sounds, a short, flirty message like this one helps to remind her that she's always top of mind.“I ran your bath water because I know how hard you work. I want to make sure you continue to take good care of yourself.” As Lowe-Simmons puts it, this message "acknowledges the hard work that your partner does for the family." Not only are you showing appreciation for all that she does, but you're taking steps to help reduce her stress levels. “Stress weakens the immune system and increases susceptibility to illness. Partners have to support one another.”“I can’t remember what my life was like without you, and I hope I never have to.” Tell your loved one that she makes your life complete. “I could be anywhere in the world but the best place for me to be is right here with you.” Another sentimental expression of love from Lowe-Simmons. This one, in particular, reminds your better half how much you savor the quality time you share. “I’m so blessed to have a teammate like you. I’ll pass you the ball anytime, because I know that you know how to handle it.” Lowe-Simmons says that this message allows your partner to understand that you need them and life is easier because of them. “This also expresses gratitude for your partner’s action,” she says. “Learning to work together and complement one another is an art. When you acknowledge appreciation it helps both you and your partner continue to put forth effort because it is working.”“Darling, you are perfect, and I love you for who you are.” “This message reassures your partner that they are perfect the way they are," Sullivan says. “You are strong, confident, and such a great mother. I love the way that you care for our family.” If you’re married with a child, expressing your gratitude for how your wife is both as a partner and mother is always nice to hear. In this short message from Lowe-Simmons, you more than cover that objective in just two brief sentences. “Just when I think it’s impossible to love you more than I already do, you go and prove me wrong.” Tell your sweetheart that your love grows wherever she goes. Deep love messages for her “At night when I lay next to you and you’re sleeping, I lie my hands on your chest and smile. You bring me such joy!” “Your partner knows that they matter when you tell them and show them,” Lowe-Simmons says. “Do not leave room for assumptions, communication is key to all relationships.”“I’m so grateful every single day that I get to call you mine. You have brought meaning to my life in a way that can never be explained. My life was good before you, but my life is beyond my wildest dreams after you.” The beginning of this one may sound corny, but Mouhtis reassures us that “women love corny when it’s coming from you.” In just a few sentences, this love note spells out how much your sweetie has amplified your life in so many ways. “It’ll be sure to make her swoon.”“Thanks for being my best friend. I love your honesty, enthusiasm, courage, perseverance, and smile. I love you more every day.” This missive from Sullivan will really make her keel over with delight. “This love note not only expresses your love for her but also tells her that she is your favorite person and highlights the qualities you appreciate the most about her,” she says.“You make the cloudiest days turn into sunshine, and the darkest nights bright.” This note might be brief, but it captures the depth of your love. Pair it with an "I love you" at the end to really seal the deal. “As small as it seems, she loves to hear the entire phrase ‘I love you’ versus ‘Love you,'" Mouhtis adds. “The small details go a long way!”“Your smile lights up a room, your laugh is contagious, and I just can’t get enough of you.” Women love feeling adored, and this message does just that. “Your love will feel absolutely touched that you see her in this light,” Mouhtis says. “Don’t be afraid of being corny. When it’s in the context of your relationship, it’s absolutely poetic.”“The beauty of your mind dazzles me, and I am in awe of your intelligence and creativity.” Show your sweetheart that you cherish her wit and wisdom. So many compliments only focus on superficial qualities, so she will especially appreciate this thoughtful message.“A love note of appreciation for you today and every day — thank you for being you. Wholeheartedly, authentically, and unapologetically you. I love you not in spite of your flaws, but because of them and all you are.” She’ll definitely bookmark this love note for a rainy day. “Being appreciated for all of who she is — including her flaws — allows her to feel safe and comfortable to be herself with you,” Mouhtis says. “And everyone loves to know that they are appreciated."“No matter what happens, there is nothing we can’t face as a team. When I feel like I’m falling apart, you hold me together.” She’s the one you want by your side through the toughest losses and the sweetest victories. Tell her how much you appreciate her support.“You inspire me every day to be the best person and partner I can be.” Growth and change can bring you even closer together. Tell your sweetheart that she’s your guiding light through all of life’s journeys.“My love, how do you manage to turn our mundane routine into the most fun-loving adventures? The small yet tender moments we share feel like lifetimes of love in a single second. Thank you for making a regular Wednesday feel like a honeymoon.” To give your significant other some credit, Mouhtis recommends this thoughtful love message for her. “Honor how you notice the small moments that, according to research by John Gottman [a renowned relationship expert, psychologist, and author], are actually the most meaningful parts of relationships — more than the grand gestures.” “The more years go by, the more I learn new things to love about you.” Getting older isn’t so scary with your soulmate by your side. No matter how long you’ve been with your love, every day brings new reasons to cherish her.“Every day that passes is just a step closer to forever.” When you’re in it for the long haul, the miles between you don’t mean a thing.“I know that we can get through anything together, as long as we always love each other first. I know life has dealt us a tough hand right now, but I’m here to keep playing cards with you for the long haul — and make sure we share laughs and steal kisses along the way. Everything is going to be okay because we have each other forever.” “Going through a hard time with your sweetie and want to remind her that you’re in this together? This is the note to share,” Mouhtis advises, stressing that all couples fall on hard times, whether it’s within their relationship or outside forces. “This note will reassure her that your feet are firmly planted in your relationship, and together you can get through the hardest of times — and come out even stronger on the other side.”“I will spend the rest of my life thinking of ways to make you smile.” For the woman whose smile lights up the room, show her that you’re devoted to her happiness.“After meeting you, all those love songs suddenly made sense.” Romance can seem cheesy — until you meet that person that makes you want to doodle hearts and write bad poetry. The right relationship will inspire you to shout your love from the rooftops.“I am so lucky to have found my best friend and my soulmate in the same person.” Every day is a new adventure with your sweetheart, whether you’re traveling the world or simply relaxing at home. “I just want you to know how special you are to me. I love this life we are building together. Being with you have been the best years of my life, and I can’t wait for what’s to come — but for now, I’m thankful to be here and in love with you.” Here is a way to recognize the life you are creating together. “You are also reminding her that your favorite moment is being in the here-and-now with her, while still acknowledging the past and future,” Mouhtis adds.“Your smile makes my day the best it can be. I’m so glad I get to choose to be with you every day because it’s the easiest decision I’ve ever made.” “It’s a very sweet yet strong love note telling your partner that they are the best thing that happened to you,” Sullivan says. Also, every woman loves knowing their smile moves someone just so.“If my heart was a compass, it would always point towards you.” The right person feels like home, no matter where you are. You will always find your way to the one you love.Love messages if you’re in a long-distance relationship“Every day that passes is another day that we are closer to seeing each other again. Just know that you are on my mind every second of every day. I’ll be holding you in my arms before you know it.” She’ll be so moved by this one she won’t know how to respond. “Combining your verbal affection toward your love, reminding her that you’ll be together soon, and spelling out exactly how you want to be with her will help her feel close and connected to you despite the distance,” Mouhtis says. “It’ll also give her something to daydream about throughout her day!”“You may be far away, but no one else is closer to my heart than you are.” Remind your love that no matter the distance, she will always be number one in your heart.“Sometimes I pull up your photo on my phone, lay my phone next to me and imagine you are here.” Consider Lowe-Simmons' message proof that distance really does make the heart grow fonder. It also gives her a sweet visual of just how crazy you are about her.“If distance has taught me anything, it’s that our love is unbreakable.” When you’ve met your soulmate, nothing can keep your hearts apart. “I’m counting the seconds until I get to see you again. I love you so much.” In a long-distance relationship, it’s important to remember you are going to see each other again. “When you remind her of this, it allows her to feel more connected to the moment you’ll be reunited and ultimately to you," Mouhtis adds.“One day we’ll break the distance, but the distance will never break us!” This lighthearted message will remind her that distance is no match for true love.“You’re the first thing on my mind when I wake up each morning, and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep.” You might only see each other in your dreams for now, but the cherished memories you share together will carry you through the distance.“You are my love story with a fairytale ending.” “It’s a cute and simple message for your partner, telling them they are all you have ever wanted," Sullivan says. We especially like this message for those in long-distance relationships since it subtly reminds your sweetheart that good times are ahead. Also, it’s safe to say most people dream of a fairytale romance.“I’m counting the days until our next adventure.” Plan some fun activities for you and your sweetheart to do when you’re finally reunited.“You, me and our favorite movie on FaceTime tonight. I can’t wait to see your beautiful face.” “A spontaneous date night will help you feel connected despite the distance,” Mouhtis says. “Feel free to change to whatever your favorite long-distance date activity is.”“I’d be lying if I said you aren’t everything I think about.” You may be apart, but your sweetheart is constantly on your mind.“I know the distance is hard, and I miss you so much it hurts — but we can get through this and anything together.” This message validates her feelings (and yours): Long-distance relationships are tough.“You are seeing and acknowledging her feelings in this way, while also reassuring her that you are both a team and she’s not alone in this,” Mouhtis adds.“I see your beautiful face every time I close my eyes.” She'll be happy to know that her smile is always on your mind. “Every time I hear the doorbell ring, I can’t help but hope it’s you.” While missing your loved one is bittersweet, it also shows how much you truly care for each other.“If I could teleport, I’d be in your arms right now.” Remind your sweetheart that there’s nowhere you’d rather be than with her.“I’m lying here with my pillow in my arms pretending it’s you. And soon it will be.” “Spelling out for your long-distance sweetie exactly what you wish you were doing together will help them imagine what it will be like when you are together again,” Mouhtis says. “The added reminder that you’ll be seeing each other soon is a bonus to help remind your beloved that this distance between you won’t be forever.” “I wish you were here with me, but you’ll always be there in my dreams.” Remind your partner that she’s your dream girl.“We might be worlds apart, but our love is bigger than the planet.” No matter the distance, true love stretches across the universe. “Everything good is worth waiting for.” When you find ‘the one,’ nothing in the world can keep you apart. It's hard to be patient, but seeing your partner's face again will heal your heart.“Roses are red, violets are blue, no one misses you more than I do!” A little cheesy? Maybe, but it’s important to keep the fun going, even from afar. “As long as you’re in my heart and I am in yours, there is no distance great enough that our love can’t travel.” They say that love has wings. Even when you’re far apart, your bond will go the distance. Romantic love messages inspired by famous songs and quotes “And here we are in heaven, for you are mine … at last.” This about sums up the feeling of being head over heels for someone. “This simple lyric from the Etta James song ‘At Last’ truly says it all — that even in the mundane, having your sweetie in your life feels like heaven,” Mouhtis says.“When I see your face / There’s not a thing that I would change /’Cause you’re amazing / Just the way you are / And when you smile /The whole world stops and stares for a while / ‘Cause girl, you’re amazing /Just the way you are.” — Bruno Mars, “Just the Way You Are” In a world that pushes perfection, tell your sweetheart that you cherish her for who she is. Send these lyrics to the woman who lights up every room.“I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day / When it’s cold outside / I’ve got the month of May / I guess you’d say / What can make me feel this way? / My girl.” — The Temptations, “My Girl” This charming love song is a perfect way to remind your sweetheart that she lights up your life. Sing these catchy lyrics while you give her a twirl. “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depths and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and idea grace.” — William Shakespeare, “Sonnet 43” There’s a reason this poem has been read at thousands of weddings. When your love defies the limits of language, let these lines demonstrate your love. “I feel like this is the beginning / Though I’ve loved you for a million years." — Stevie Wonder, “You are the Sunshine of My Life” You know she's the one when every day feels like a new love story. Tell her that your love will last forever with these Stevie Wonder lyrics.“Can I go where you go? / Can we always be this close forever and ever?” — Taylor Swift, “Lover” Tell your true-blue lover that you’d follow her anywhere with these short and sweet lyrics from Taylor Swift.“Love is patient, love is kind, love doesn’t give up or give in and love is not forceful.” This riff on the Bible verse is timeless. “Love is the greatest value that we can possess as human beings,” Lowe-Simmons says. This moving phrase exemplifies just all the powerful qualities love possesses. “Well, I found a woman stronger than anyone I know / She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home.” — Ed Sheeran, “Perfect” When you know, you know, as the saying goes. If you’ve dreamed of a future together since the moment you met, tell her with these lovely lyrics.“Love me tender, love me sweet / Never let me go / You have made my life complete / And I love you so.” — Elvis Presley, “Love Me Tender” This classic song will show your sweetheart that your love is timeless. It’s also the perfect opportunity to sweep her off her feet for a slow dance."All of me loves all of you.” Mouhtis recommends this line from John Legend's "All of Me” since it emphasizes what true love is really about: “Loving each other for the entire person, not just parts of them."“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you directly without problems or pride: I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love, except in this form in which I am not nor are you, so close that your hand upon my chest is mine, so close that your eyes close with my dreams.” — Pablo Neruda, "One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII" Nobody writes about love like Pablo Neruda. If you can’t imagine life without her, this deep love poem is perfect for your other half. “Oh, my love, my darling / I’ve hungered for your touch / A long, lonely time.” — The Righteous Brothers, “Unchained Melody” This song captures the bittersweet feeling of missing your beloved. While time and distance can be challenging, remind her that your love story is a romance worth waiting for. "You can hear it in the silence / You can feel it on the way home / You can see it with the lights out / You are in love." Nobody writes about love quite like Taylor Swift. “These lyrics from "You Are In Love" are able to masterfully convey the feelings of true love,” Mouhtis says. Of course, if she's a Swiftie, she’ll be even more over the moon for love-filled message.“Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” — William Shakespeare, “Romeo and Juliet” For the woman who loves literature, there’s nothing more romantic than these famous lines. Shakespeare perfectly captures the breathless moment you first laid eyes on your sweetheart.“You’re just too good to be true / Can’t take my eyes off of you.” These flirty lyrics from Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" are perfect for a date night text. “Just let me adore you, like it’s the only thing I’ll ever do.” — Harry Styles, “Adore You” When you find the right person, you could spend hours just staring into each others’ eyes. These simple lyrics will demonstrate your devotion.“If your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.” — William Goldman, “The Princess Bride” Love can truly be a fairy tale. Share these sweet words with your love to transport her to a romantic fantasy.“Take my hand, take my whole life too / For I can’t help falling in love with you.” — Elvis Presley, “Can’t Help Falling in Love” This sentimental love song is a perennial classic for a reason. Send these lyrics to the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with. “In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” — Jane Austen, “Pride and Prejudice” Take a cue from one of literature’s greatest romances and court your sweetheart with these famous lines. “There’s no need to complicate / Our time is short / This is our fate, I’m yours.” — Jason Mraz, “I’m Yours” Sometimes, love is written in the stars.Because cards and gifts go together like you and your S.O.Couples everywhere will love these clever gift ideas Add a layer of friendly competition to date night — Games for couples to shopGift ideas based on your partner's love language Perri Ormont BlumbergPerri is a New York City-born-and-based writer.

Music video"Love (Sweet Love)" on YouTube

"Love (Sweet Love)" is a song recorded by British girl group Little Mix. It was released on 3 September 2021 through RCA Records, as a single in support of their first greatest hits album Between Us. The single was written by group members Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, along with Lauren Aquilina, MNEK and Sakima; the latter two also produced the song.

"Love (Sweet Love)" was met with generally positive reviews from critics, with praise given to their vocal performance. Described as a pop song with elements of synth-pop and soul music, with lyrics that explores themes of female empowerment, independence, and self-love. On the UK Singles Chart it reached number 33, becoming Little Mix's 31st top 40 single.[4] It also reached the top forty in Ireland, Croatia, Latvia and Hungary. Little Mix performed the track for the first time during The Confetti Tour, in 2022.[5]

Background and release[edit]

On 29 August 2021, Little Mix teased the song by posting a short snippet of the music video on their social media accounts.[6] The song was announced on 30 August 2021,[7] with a new snippet of the music video released the next day.[8] On 2 September 2021, a snippet of the song was released on the online video-sharing platform, TikTok, a day before the official release of the song. "Love (Sweet Love)" was released on 3 September 2021, along with an accompanying music video.[9] This marked the group's first official song as a trio after Jesy Nelson's departure from the group in 2020.[10]

“We are so excited for ‘Love (Sweet Love)’ to be the first single released from Between Us. We loved shooting the video for this song, it feels like a real moment and we can’t wait to share it.”— Leigh-Anne Pinnock on the release of "Love (Sweet Love)".[10]

Composition[edit]

"Love (Sweet Love)" is a pop song written by group members Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, with MNEK, Sakima and Lauren Aquilina. The members of Morcheeba, Ross Godfrey, Paul Godfrey and Skye Edwards, were also given a writing credit, as the song samples Morcheeba's 2000 track "Love Sweet Love". MNEK and Sakima also handled the production. The song runs for a total length of three minutes and forty seconds.[11] Lyrically, the song discusses independence, female empowerment, and self-love, with the lyrics "I don't need your love to love me. Need my own celebration, yeah, Solo stimulation, yeah, Kiss my imagination. I don't need your love to love me" included in the song.[1][10]

Music video[edit]

The music video was released on 3 September 2021, the same day as the song's release. It was directed by Samuel Douek, who also directed the music video for the group's previous singles, "Confetti" and "Heartbreak Anthem". In the video, the group appears as "gold-adorned goddesses" sat on thrones and dressed in gold gowns with golden headpieces, surrounded by worshippers in a garden greenhouse.[12][10]

In an Instagram post, Douek said that "The concept was inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite art movement and the lesser known Sisterhood that romanticised nature and emboldened women through painting". He continued by explaining that he wanted to "celebrate Little Mix as the regal queens they are; unimpressed by a cohort of Knights that vie for their attention". Douek then described the song as a "a celebration of self-love and female empowerment" and admired Edwards and Pinnock for their performance in the video, as they were pregnant at the time the video was shot. The video also contains choreography by Khloe Dean and the art direction was directed by Furmaan Ahmed.[13]

Critical reception[edit]

Lyndsey Havens from Billboard added the song to her ten cool pop new songs list and described it as "the kind of punchy, soulful pop stompers that fans have come to crave from Little Mix".[14]

Rollingstone India, added that "Love (Sweet Love)” encapsulates the group’s long-established personas as icons of empowerment and self-love: “I been spendin’ time on everybody else/ It’s time I did it for me (Love, sweet love).” The synth-pop track employs Little Mix’s arsenal of harmonies and vocal variations, giving the single a fresh, anthemic feel."[15]

Conor Clark from Gay Times, said "Love (Sweet Love) is about love and passion which features vocal harmonies from the trio."[16]

With all my heart, I love you baby

Stay with me, and you will see my arms will hold you, baby

Never leave, 'cause I believe I'm in love

Sweet love hear me callin' out your name

I feel no shame; I'm in love

Sweet love, don't you ever go away

It'll always be this way

Your heart has called me closer to you

I will be all that you need

Just trust in what we're feeling

Never leave, 'cause baby, I believe

In this love

Sweet love hear me callin' out your name

I feel no shame; I'm in love

Sweet love, don't you ever go away

It'll always be this way

There's no stronger love in this world, Oh, baby, no

You're my man; I'm your girl

I'll never go. Wait and see, can't be wrong

Don't you know this is where you belong?

How sweet this dream, how lovely, baby

Stay right here, never fear

I will be all that you need

Never leave, 'cause baby, I believe

In this love

Sweet love hear me callin' out your name

I feel no shame; I'm in love

Sweet love, don't you ever go away

It'll always be this way
