What The World Needs Now Is Love

Deshannon Jackie

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

There are cornfields and wheatfields 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 ev'ryone

No not just for some

Oh but just for ev'ry one
