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

No not just for some

But for everyone

Lord we don't need another meadow

There are cornfields and wheatfields

Enough to grow

And there are sunbeams and moonbeams

Enough to shine

So 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



More love, uhh, more love

Everybody know that

(the world needs love)

Everybody, Everybody knows that

(this world needs love)

This world, the whole world

(the whole world needs love)

The whole world, the whole world

(more love, more lovin')

There's not enough...
