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 cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know

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

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