How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone’s arms
There you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
There you were
Money granted with devotion
You funded my promotion
I wanna stop… in the Künstlerhaus Bethanien Atelier
I just wanna thank … the Australia Council

How sweet it is to be loved by you

Close my eyes at night
Wonderin' where i’d be without you in my life
Everything i made was just a bore
Everywhere i showed it seems they'd seen it before
But you saw my slides in a different light
External peer assesment had its' say
I wanna stop … gracias for my Guggenheim Fellowship per favore
I just wanna thank … the Pollock–Krasner Foundation

How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than i was to myself
I'm using your logo, there ain't nobody else
I wanna stop … a la Cite International Des Arts a Paris
I just wanna thank … the Macarthur Foundation for my genius grant

How sweet it is to be loved by you
(i’m using new media, baby)
How sweet it is to be loved by you
(it’s about professional development)
How sweet it is to be loved by you
