How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) (Live in Montreux 1980)

[Intro]

Thank you

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen

Woo, thank you so much

Love you

Name of this song is "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You"

Can you clap your hands? Wanna stomp your feet?

Well, it really don't matter...ow

[Chorus]

How sweet it is to be loved by you, hey hey, woo

How sweet it is to be loved by you, yes it is, baby

[Verse 1]

I needed the shelter of someone's arms

And there you were

I needed someone to understand my ups and downs

And there you were

With sweet love and devotion

Deeply touching my emotion

[Pre-Chorus]

I want to stop (Stop) and thank you, baby

I just want to stop (Stop) and thank you, baby

[Chorus]

How sweet it is to be loved by you, yes it is, baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you, hey, ow

[Verse 2]

I close my eyes at night

Wondering where would I be without you in my life

Everything I did was just a bore

All the things I did it seems I'd done it before

But you brightened up all of my days

With a love so sweet in so many ways

[Pre-Chorus]

I want to stop (Stop) and thank you, baby

I want to stop (Stop) and thank you, baby, hoo

[Chorus]

How sweet it is to be loved by you, hey, hey hey, ow

How sweet it is to be loved by you, yes it is, baby, ow

[Bridge]

Gordon, how you feel? Feeling good?

Come on, Gordon, make it funky

Get your pressure up, hey

[Gordon Banks guitar solo]

Yeah, yeah

Big round of applause for Mister Gordon Banks, ladies and gentlemen

[Verse 3]

You were better to me than I've been to myself

For me, there's you, nobody else

[Pre-Chorus]

Stop (Stop) and thank you, baby

I wanna stop (Stop) and thank you baby, oh

[Chorus]

How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh, right now, right now, baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh, hey, woo

How sweet it is to be loved by you, baby, yeah

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

[Outro]

How sweet it is, y'all

Thank you, thank so much, ladies and gentlemen
