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

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 clim
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time

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
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, oh, but just for
Every, every, everyone
