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  

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

 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                       Em 
But you brightened up for me all of my days 
        G               C 
With a love so sweet in so many ways  
           G         C
I want to stop and thank you baby 
           G         C 
I want to stop and thank you baby  

 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

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