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 'til 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 wanna 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

More love, more love
Everybody knows that (the world needs love)
Everybody, everybody knows that (this world needs love)
This world, the whole world (the whole world needs love)
The whole world, the whole world
More love, more loving (this world needs love)
There's not enough...
