            [Chorus]
C            Am        D11      G
How sweet it is to be loved by you
C            Am        D11      G
How sweet it is to be loved by you
[Verse]
    G                    Em
I needed the shelter of someone's arms
      D         C
and there you were
    G                      Em
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
      D         C
and there you were
   G                  C
With sweet love and devotion
  Em                  C
deeply touching my emotion
           G                  C
I want to stop and thank you baby
           G  N.C.           G
I want to stop and thank you baby, yes I do
[Chorus]
C            Am        D11      G
How sweet it is to be loved by you
C            Am        D11      G
How sweet it is to be loved by you
[Verse]
 G                  Em
I close my eyes at night,
 D                                  C
wondering where would I be without you in my life
 G                    Em
Everything I did was just a bore,
 D                              C
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
     G                       C
But you brightened up for me all of my days
        Em               C
With a love so sweet in so many ways
           G         C
I want to stop and thank you baby
                G  N.C.           G
I just want to stop and thank you baby
[Chorus]
C            Am        D11      G
How sweet it is to be loved by you
C            Am        D11      G
How sweet it is to be loved by you
[Instrumental]
G    Em   D    C
G    Em   D    C
[Bridge]
 G                            C
You were better to me than I was to myself
Em                                   C
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
          G          C
I want to stop and thank you baby
                G  N.C.            G
I just want to stop and thank you baby, oh yes
[Chorus]
C            Am        D11      G
How sweet it is to be loved by you
C            Am        D11      G
How sweet it is to be loved by you
C            Am        D11      G
How sweet it is to be loved by you
C            Am        D11      G
How sweet it is to be loved by you
