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 time
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
There are corn fields
and wheat fields
enough to grow
There are sunbeams
and moonbeams
enough to shine
Oh listen Lord
if you want to know
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
oh but just for every
every everyone
What the world needs now
is love sweet love
What the world needs now
is love sweet love
What the world needs now
is love sweet love
