Song by Jackie DeShannon<br /><br>

What the world needs now is love, sweet love<br>

It's the only thing that there's just too little of<br>

What the world needs now is love, sweet love,<br>

No not just for some but for everyone.<br>

<br>

Lord, we don't need another mountain,<br>

There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb<br>

There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,<br>

Enough to last till the end of time.<br>

<br>

What the world needs now is love, sweet love<br>

It's the only thing that there's just too little of<br>

What the world needs now is love, sweet love,<br>

No, not just for some but for everyone.<br>

<br>

Lord, we don't need another meadow<br>

There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow<br>

There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine<br>

Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.<br>

<br>

What the world needs now is love, sweet love<br>

It's the only thing that there's just too little of<br>

What the world needs now is love, sweet love,<br>

No, not just for some but for everyone.<br>

<br>

No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.<br>

<br>
