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 until 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

（ Whoa whoa is love ）

What the world needs now is love sweet love

（ Oh oh is love ）

What the world needs now is love sweet love

（ Whoa whoa is love ）
