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
And 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 wheat fields 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

Huh, more love
Uhh, more love

 Everybody know that
Everybody, everybody knows that

This world, whole world

The whole world, the whole world

 There's not enough

There's not enough

 There's not enough
