[Verse 1]
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helpin' hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it's gettin' late
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

[Chorus]
And the world (The world) will be a better place
And the world (The world) will be a better place
For you (For) and me (and me)
You just wait (You just wait) and see

[Verse 2]
Another day goes by
Still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
You want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

[Chorus]
And the world (The world) will be a better place
And the world (The world) will be a better place
For you (For you) and me (and me)
You just wait (You just wait) and see, yeah

[Verse 3]
Take a good look around
And if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

[Chorus]
And the world (The world) will be a better place
And the world (The world) will be a better place
For you (For you) and me (and me)
You just wait (You just wait) and see
[Outro]
(Put a little love in your heart)
(Put a little love in your heart)
(Put a little love in your heart ) Now, just a little bit longer now
(Put a little love in your heart)
(Put a little love in your heart ) Said put it in your heart

(Put a little love in your heart) I know, I know, I know, I know
(Put a little love in your heart)
(Put a little love in your heart) You gotta put it in your heart, now
