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
No, not just for some

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
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 meadow
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams
Enough to shine
Oh, listen, Lord
If you wanna know
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
Is love, sweet love
What the world needs now

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but just for every, everyone
