"What The World Needs Now" lyrics
(originally by Jackie DeShannon)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
That'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 climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last 'til the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
That'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 meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are moonbeams and sunbeams enough to shine
Oh, Lord, if You really wanna know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
That'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
No, not just for some
What the world needs now is love
That'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 climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last 'til the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
That'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 meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are moonbeams and sunbeams enough to shine
Oh, Lord, if You really wanna know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
That'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
No, not just for some
What the world needs now is love
