What the world needs now
Is love sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just to little of

What the world needs now
Is love sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone

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

What the world needs now
Is love sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just to little of

What the world needs now
Is love sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone

Lord we don't need
Another meadow
There are corn fields and
Wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and
Moonbeams enough to shine
So listen up
If you want to know

What the world needs now
Is love sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just to little of

What the world needs now
Is love sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone

Everybody knows...
