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 until the end of time

What the world needs now is love sweet love
It's the only thing
That theres 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 sunbeams
And moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love sweet love
Its' the only thing
That theres just too little of
What the world needs now is love sweet love
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
