What the World Needs Now Is Love

[Chorus: Robert Lamm]
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
Life is just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
But for everyone

[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]
We don't need the [?] mountain
There are mountains and hilltops
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time (Until the end of time)

[Chorus: Robert Lamm]
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
Life is just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
But for everyone

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm, with bandmates]
Lord, we don't need another minute, oh
There are corn fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams
Enough to shine
Oh, listen, Lord, if you really want to know
If you wanna know

[Chorus: Robert Lamm]
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
Life is just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
But for everyone
Every, every
Everyone

[Instrumental]

[Outro: All]
Sweet love
Lord, we just need love
Love, we need sleep love
Not just for everyone
Love for everyone
