What The World Needs Now Is Love lyrics

What the World Needs Now is Love
Jackie DeShannon

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.

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 till the end of time.

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.

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are
cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams
enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.

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.

No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.
