Lyrics
[Intro]
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it's getting late
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
[Verse 1]
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
[Verse 2]
Another day goes by, still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
[Chorus]
And the world (And the world)
Will be a better place
Oh, the world (And the world)
Will be a better place
For you (For you)
And me (And me)
You just wait (Just wait)
And see
Wait and see
[Verse 3]
Take a good look around
And if you're looking down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart
[Chorus]
And the world (And the world)
Will be a better place
And the world (And the world)
Will be a better place
For you (For you)
And me (And me)
You just wait (Just wait)
And see
[Outro]
People, now, put a little love in your heart (Each and every day)
Put a little love in your heart (There's no other way)
Put a little love in your heart (It's up to you)
Put a little love in your heart
[Outro]
Come on and (Put a little love in your heart)
Put a little love in your heart (Put a little love in your heart)
You've got to put a little love in your heart
(Put a little love in your heart) You ought to put a little love in your heart
