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 cornfields
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 ever 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
