Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, 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
No, not just for some
But for everyone
[Verse 3]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, everyone
[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
Or but just one
Every, every, everyone
[Verse 5]
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
Written by: Burt Bacharach, Hal David
