What the World Needs Now Is Love

[Chorus]
What the world needs now-now, is love (Ooh, sweet love)
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
Ooh, what the world needs now-now, is love (Sweet love, love)
No, no, not just for some, but for everyone

[Verse 1]
Lord, we don't need another mountain (Don't need a mountain)
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb (Enough to climb, Lord)
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time (Enough to cross, enough to last, 'til the end of time)

[Chorus]
Oh, what the world needs now-now, is love (Love, love, love, sweet love)
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
Oh, what the world needs now-now, is love (Love, sweet love)
It's the only thing that there's just too little of

[Verse 2]
Lord, we don't need another meadow (Don't need a meadow)
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow (Enough to grow, Lord)
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh, listen Lord (Listen Lord, listen Lord), if you want to know

[Outro]
(What the world needs now is love sweet love)
What the world needs now-now, love, sweet love
(Love, sweet, sweet love) World needs now, (Love, sweet, sweet love) love, sweet love, oh
(Love, sweet, sweet love) World needs now-now-now, (Love, sweet, sweet love) let us start today
(Love, sweet, sweet love) You'll feel so better, (Love, sweet, sweet love) let me start right now, oh come on
(Love, sweet, sweet love) Start right now, yes
