Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
Everyone
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
No, not just for some but for everyone
Everyone
[Verse 5]
What the world needs now is love, sweet love, love
(World needs now, love, sweet love)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
World needs, what the world needs
What the world needs is love, sweet love
Just the love, sweet love
Simply love, sweet love, love, love, love, love, love, love
What the world needs now
What the world needs now, yeah
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is love, sweet sweet love
