[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus]
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 evеryone

[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, we don't need another mеadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh, listen Lord, if You want to know

[Chorus]
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 ev—, ev—, everyone
[Outro]
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
Everybody got trouble
We all have trouble sometimes
But we gotta stand together
We gotta love one another
We got to have love
Oh, we got to have love
Would you help me have love?
Oh, help me have love
Oh yeah
