People making lists, buying special gifts, 

Take your time to be kind to one and all 

It's that time of year when good friends are dear 

And you wish you could give more 

Than just presents from a store 



Why don't you give love on Christmas Day 

Even the man who has everything 

Would be so happy if you would bring 

Him love on Christmas Day 

No greater gift is there than love 



People you don't know smiling out hello 

Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy 

It's that once a year, when the world's sincere 

And you'd like to find a way 

To show the things that words can't say 



Why don't you give love on Christmas Day 

The man on the street and the couple upstairs 

All need to know that there's one cares 

Give love on Christmas Day 

No greater gift is there than love 



Why don't you give love 

To someone who needs right now. 

N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-na Someone who need it right now 

Ooooooooh 

Ooooooooh 

What the world needs is love 

Yes the world needs your love 



Give love on Christmas Day 

Every little child on Santa's knee 

Has room for your love underneath his tree 

Give love on Christmas day 

No greater gift is there than love 

What the world needs is love 

Yes the world needs your love 



Give love on Christmas Day 

Tom, Dick and Harry and Susie, too 

Needs love from someone 

Just as much as you 

Give love on Christmas Day 

No greater gift is there than love 

What the world needs is love 

Yes the world needs your love 



Give love (Yeah) 

Give love, give love 

When you know somebody 

When you know somebody who needs love (Give love) 

What the world to give love 

Give love, give love 

No greater gift is there than love (Give love, give love, give love, give love) 

What the world need is love (Aaaaaaah)
