[Verse 1: Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
Good morn or evening, friends
Here's your friendly announcer
I have serious news to pass on to everybody
What I'm about to say
Could mean the world's disaster
Could change your joy and laughter
To tears and pain
What I want the world to know is

[Chorus: Chauncey "Black" Hannibal & Blackstreet]
Love's in need of love for the love today
Don't delay
Send yours in right away
Hate's goin' 'round
Breaking many hearts
Stop it please
Before it's gone too far, oh oh oh

[Verse 2: Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
The force of evil plans
To make you its possession
And it will if we let it
Destroy everybody
We all must take
Precautionary measures
If love and peace you treasure
Then you'll hear me when I say
Oh, oh, that
[Outro: Chauncey "Black" Hannibal & Blackstreet]
Love's in need of love today
Don't delay
Send yours in right away
Don't you know that hate's goin' 'round
Breaking many hearts
Stop it please
Before it's gone, before it's gone too far, oh oh
Love's in need, yes it is, of love today
Don't delay
Send yours in right away (Right away)
Hate's goin' round, goin' round
Breaking many hearts, oh yes it is
Stop it please
You've got to, I've got to, we've got to stop it
Before it's gone too far
Love's in need of love today
Don't delay
Send yours in right away
Love is very peaceful, so break it down
Hate's goin' round
Breaking many hearts
Stop it please
Before it's gone too far
No no no no no no no no no no, no no, no no
