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 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, oh! but just one, every, 
everyone. 

Lord, we don't need another meadow 
There are meadows 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 
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, oh! but just one, every, 
everyone. 

No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone Jackie 
DeShannon 

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, oh! but just one, every, 
everyone.
