Marvin Gaye – How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) 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
