(Hal David/Burt Bacharach)

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 sun beams and moon beams

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

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

What the world needs now
