[Spoken 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
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
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

How sweet it is, y'all
