1. 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
    Look, we don't need another mountain

    There are oceans and rivers

    Enough to cross, enough to last

    Until the end of time
    [Chorus]
    Lord we dont need another meadow

    There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow

    There are sun beams and moon beams enough to shine

    This I know, if you want to know
    [Chorus]
    What the world needs now

    Is love, sweet love

    What the world needs now

    Is love, sweet love

    What the world needs right about now

    What the world needs now

    Is love, sweet love

    What the world needs now

    Is love, sweet love
