 How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G G7]
 How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G C7]

 I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were [G Em D C7]
 I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
 and there you were [G Em D C7]
 With sweet love and devotion
 deeply touching my emotion [G C7 G C7]
 I want to stop and thank you baby [G C7]
 I just want to stop and thank you baby [G]

 How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G G7]
 How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G C7]

 I close my eyes at night,
 wondering where would I be without you in my life [G Em D C7]
 Everything I did was just a bore,
 everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before [G Em D C7]
 But you brightened up for me all of my days
 With a love so sweet in so many ways [G C7 G C7]
 I want to stop and thank you baby [G C7]
 I want to stop and thank you baby [G]

 How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G G7]
 How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G C7]

 You were better for me than I was for myself [G C7]
 For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else [G C7]
 I want to stop and thank you baby [G C7]
 I just want to stop and thank you baby [G]
