Lyrics
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
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 'til the end of time
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, for everyone
Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if You wanna know
Let me tell You so
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world really needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but for everyone
We don't need another mountain
We don't need another river
We need love, sweet love
For everyone
Oh, listen to me, Lord
Can't You hear me when I say
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
