Lyrics:

HOW SWEET IT IS (TO BE LOVED BY YOU)
JAMES TAYLOR
(HOLLAND, DOZIER, HOLLAND) 1964

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]

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
