with the release of a brand new song penned and produced by the [F] Hollandosie Holland team.
I was very happy with How [C] Sweet It Is [Dm] because I nearly [C] cracked the number one spot, I went to
number five and I remember that I hadn't had a record go that high in the [Dm] charts.
[C] [Dm] [C]
[F] [C] [Dm]
[C] [Dm] [C] [Dm] [C] Oh [Dm] baby [C] I needed the [Am] shell whoop of someone's [G] arms, and [F] there you [Ab] were.
[Dm] [C] I need someone [Am] to understand my ups [G] and downs, and there [F] [Bb] you [Fm] were.
[C] With sweet [F] love and devotion
[C] Deep red touch in [F] my emotions
I wanna [C] stop and [F] thank you [A] baby
[F] I wanna [C] stop and [F] thank you baby
[Dm] Hey now, how sweet [C] it [F] is to be loved [C] by you
Oh baby, [F] baby
How [Dm] sweet [C] it [F] is to be loved [C] by you
Yes it is
[F] [C] Close my [Am]
eyes at night
[G] And wonder what would I [F] be without you in my life
[C] Everything [Am] was just a bore
[G] All the things I [F] did since I've done them before
[C] But you brighten up [F] all my days
[C] With a love [F] so sweet in so many ways
I [C] wanna stop and [F] thank you baby
I wanna [C] stop and [F] thank you baby
Hey [Dm] now, how sweet it [C] [F] is to be loved [C] by you
Oh yes it [Bb] is [C] baby
[F] How sweet [C] it [F] is to be loved [C] by you
Yes it is [Dm] [F] baby
[C]
[Am] [G]
[F] [C] You are better to me [F] than I've been to myself
[C] For me there's [F] you and nobody else
[C] Stop and [F] thank you baby
I wanna [C] stop and [F] thank you baby
Oh how sweet [C] it [F] is to be [C] loved by you
Tell the truth baby
[F] How sweet [C] it [F] is to be [C] loved by you
Well it's like sugar to my [F] soul
How sweet [C] it [F] is to be loved [C] by you
[N]
