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
Look, we don't need another mountain
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross, enough to last
Until the end of time
Lord we dont need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sun beams and moon beams enough to shine
This I know, if you want to know
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
What the world needs right about now
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
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, just for everyone
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
