[Intro: Leona Lewis]
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but for everyone, mmhmm

[Verse 1: Sam Fischer]
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

[Chorus: Smokey Robinson, Smokey Robinson & Sam Fischer]
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, oh

[Verse 2: Leona Lewis & Sam Fischer]
Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow (Enough to grow)
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh, listen, Lord (Listen, Lord)
If You wanna know (If You wanna know)

[Chorus: Leona Lewis, Smokey Robinson & Sam Fischer]
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 every, everyone
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing (It's the only thing)
That there's just too little of (Oh)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love (We need some love)
No, not just for some, but for everyone
[Outro: Leona Lewis]
Mmhmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
No, not just for some, but for everyone
