Burt Bacharach
What the World Needs Now Is Love Sweet Love
[Verse 1]
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]
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
Oh, 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 (for everyone)
[Verse 2]
Lord, we don't need another meadow
Oh, there are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow
Oh, there are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh, listen Lord, listen Lord, if you want to know
[Chorus]
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
Oh, it's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love sweet love
No, no no no no, not just for some but for everyone
[Chorus]
Oh, what the world needs now is love, love, sweet love
Oh, it's the only thing, it's the only thing, that there's just, just too little of
Ooh, what the world needs now, love, sweet love
No not just for some but for e-everyone, everyone, yeah
Ooh, we need it, sure, we need it
No, no no no no no
Love, sweet love, love
We need love, sweet love, woah
Woah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
