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 but for everyone.
No not just for some,
Oh but just for every every everyone
What the world (whoa whoa) needs now,
Is love (is love) sweet love
What the world ( oh oh) needs now
Is love (is love) sweet love
What the world (whoa whoa) needs now
Is love (is love) sweet love
