What the World Needs Now Is Love

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers we have to cross
Enough to last till the end of time

[Chorus]
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 everyone

[Verse 2]
Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if You want to know

[Chorus]
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 love, love every, every, every, everyone

[Outro]
(What the world needs now) Woah, woah, (is love), sweet love (sweet love)
(What the world) Oh, woah, woah (needs now) oh, Lord (is love)
Sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
