Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 2]
Look, 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
Until the end of time
[Verse 3]
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)
[Verse 4]
Look, we don't need another meadow (Another meadow)
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow (Enough to grow)
There are sun beams and moon beams enough to shine
Oh listen love, if you want to know
[Verse 5]
What the world needs now
(Right about now)
Is love, sweet love
(We need love, sweet love)
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now
(What the world needs right now
Is love, sweet love
(Sweet love)
No, not just for some, oh but just for every-everyone
[Verse 6]
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
(What the world needs now)
(What the world needs now)
Is love, sweet love
(Love, sweet, sweet, sweet love)
[Verse 7]
What the world needs right about now
Is love, sweet love
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
(Got a lot of things but love)
What the world needs now
(Is what we need)
Is love, sweet love
[Verse 8]
What the world needs now
(What the world needs right 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 just for everyone
[Verse 9]
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
