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 dont 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 wheatfields 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 for every
-Eh -eh -everyone
