 Think of your fellow man
 Lend him a helping hand
 Put a little love in your heart
 You see it's getting late
 Oh, please don't hesitate
 Put a little love in your heart

 And the world will be a better place
 And the world will be a better place
 For you and me
 You just wait and see

 Another day goes by
 Still the children cry
 Put a little love in your heart
 If you want the world to know
 We won't let hatred grow
 Put a little love in your heart

 And the world (and the world) will be a better place
 All the world (all the world) will be a better place
 For you (for you)
 And me (and me)
 You just wait (just wait)
 And see, wait and see

 Take a good look around
 And if you're looking down
 Put a little love in your heart
 I hope when you decide
 Kindness will be your guide
 Put a little love in your heart

 And the world (and the world) will be a better place
 And the world (and the world) will be a better place
 For you (for you)
 And me (and me)
 You just wait (just wait)
 And see

 People, now put a little love in your heart
 Each and every day
 Put a little love in your heart
 There's no other way
 Put a little love in your heart
 It's up to you
 Put a little love in your heart
 C'mon and

 FADE
 Put a little love in your heart
