What the World Needs Now lyrics

[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
Hey, no, not just for some
But for everyone

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

[Chorus]
What the world (The world, the world) needs now (What the world)
Hey, is love (Good love, good love), sweet love
(Sweet love)
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of (Not enough)
What the world (The world, the world) needs now (What the world)
Is love (Good love, good love), sweet love
(Sweet love)
No, not just for some (Hey, ha ha)
But for everyone
[Verse 2]
Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields
Enough to grow (Grow)
And there are sunbeams and moonbeams
Enough to shine (Shine)
So listen, Lord (Listen up, please listen up)
If You wanna know

[Chorus]
What the world (The world, the world) needs now (What the world)
Hey, is love (Good love, good love), sweet love
(Sweet love)
Hey, it's the only thing
That there's just too little of (Not enough)
What the world (This world, this world) needs now (What this world)
Is love (Good love, good love), sweet love
(More love)
Hey, oh, no, not just for some (Uh-huh)
But for everyone (Everybody, everyone)

[Outro]
More love
Uh, more love
Everybody knows that
(The world needs love)
Everybody, everybody knows that
(This world needs love)
This world, the whole world
(The whole world needs love)
The whole world, the whole world
(More love, more love)
There's not enough
(The world needs love)
(This world needs love)
There's not enough
(The whole world needs love)
(Good love, good love)
There's not enough
(The world needs love)
(This world needs love)
There's not enough
(The whole world needs love)
(Sweet love, sweet love)
There's not enough
(The world needs love)
