What the world needs now is love sweet love,

its 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.



Lord we dont need another mountain,

there are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,

there are oceans and rivers enough to cross

enough to last until the end of time



what the world needs now is love sweet love,

its the only thing that theres just too little of,

what the world needs now is love sweet love,

no not just for some but for everyone



Lord, we dont need another meadow,

there are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow,

there are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,

oh listen Lord, if you want to know



What the world needs now is love sweet love,

its the only thing that theres just too little of.

what the world needs now is love sweet love,

no not just for some, oh but just for every every everyone.
