Lyrics How Sweet It Is (Live) - James Taylor

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

When I needed the shelter of someone's arms
Darling, there you were
When I needed someone to understand my ups and my downs
Oh, baby, there you were

With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
And I just gotta stop
Just to thank you, baby
I just wanna stop
Just to thank you, baby
Yes I do

How sweet it is to be loved by you
(Yeah, to be loved by you)
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Well, I'm gonna close my eyes at night now
Wondering where would I be without you in my life, babe
And everything I was into it was just a bore
And everywhere I went I'd think I've been here before

But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I wanna stop
Just to thank you, baby
I just wanna stop
Just to thank you, baby
Thank you, baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
(Loved by you)
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there's you, baby, there ain't nobody else
I gotta stop
So I can thank you, baby
I just wanna stop
Like to thank you, baby
Yes I do

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Let's bring it home now

Well, I just gotta (stop)
Stop and thank you, baby
Get down

And I think so strong
The feeling's so right
(Stop)
Stop and thank you, baby, baby

And a love thing and a love thing
And a love thing and a love thing
(Just stop)
Gotta stop and thank you, baby

I say well now, well now, well now
Well now, well now, well now
Well now, well now, well now
Well now, well now, well now
Well now, well now, baby
To be loved be you
(To be loved be you)

It's like a honey to the bee, baby
Sugar to the sugarcane
Jelly to the donut
It's like a love to a lonely man
Over and over
To be loved, to be loved
To be truly, truly loved

To be loved, to be loved (to be loved, to be loved)
To be truly, truly loved (to be truly loved)
To be loved, to be loved (to be loved, to be loved)
To be truly, truly loved (to be truly loved)
To be loved, to be loved (to be loved, to be loved)
To be truly, truly loved (to be truly loved)
To be loved, to be loved (to be loved, to be loved)
To be truly, truly loved, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I want y'all to do us a favor now

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is

And it feels just about right
Ooh, yeah
Feels all right tonight
Oh, no, no, no, no
Back in Boston a handsome man with a scenic bean, yes sir

To be loved by you

Thanks, thanks a lot
