[Intro]
Come on and give a little love

[Verse 1]
People making lists, buying special gifts
Taking time to be kind to one another
It's that time of year when good friends are near
And you wish you could give more
Than just presents from a store

[Chorus]
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
Even the man with everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
So come on and give love

[Verse 2]
People you don't know smiling out hello
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy
It's that once of year when the world's sincere
And you'd like to find a way
To show the things that words can't say

[Chorus]
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
Oh, the man on the street or the couple upstairs
Who need to know there's someone cares
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
[Refrain]
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs your love

[Chorus]
Oh, you can give love on Christmas Day
Every child who sits on Santa's knee
Has room for love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love

[Refrain]
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs more love, love, love

[Chorus]
Give love on Christmas Day
(Give love on Christmas day)
Every child on Santa's knee
Including Taylor, who loves me
Needs love on Christmas day
For no greater gift is there than love

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh
I need, you need, we need love
[Chorus]
Give love on Christmas day
Even if you have everything
There's someone who wishes that you would bring
Give love on Christmas day (Just bring them love)
No greater gift is there than love

[Outro]
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs your love
My love, your love, give love
