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, for everyone

[Verse 2]

Lord, we don't need another mountain

There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb

There are oceans and rivers enough to cross

'Til the end of time

[Verse 3]

What the world needs now is love, sweet, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet, sweet love

No, not just for some, but for everyone, for everyone

[Verse 4]

Lord we don't need another meadow

There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow

There are sun beams and moon beams enough to shine

Oh, listen Lord, if you want to know

[Verse 5]

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of (Too little of)

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

Sweet love
