What the... world
needs now
is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
that there's just
too little of
what the world
needs now
Is love, sweet love
no not just for some
but for everyone
Lord we don't need
another mountain
There are mountains
and hillsides
enough to climb
There are oceans
and rivers
Enough to cross
Enough to last
till the end of ti....me
What the world
needs now
is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
that there's just
too little of
what the world
needs now
Is love, sweet love
no not just for some
but for everyone
Lord we don't need
another meadow
Oh there are cornfields
and wheatfields
enough to grow
There are sunbeams
and moonbeams
enough to shine
Oh listen Lord
if you want to know....
I say that
what the world
needs now
is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
that there's just
too little of
What the world
needs now
Is love, sweet love
no not just for some
but for ev........eryone
Everyone
Ev......eryo......ne
