[Chorus]

[Chorus]
What the world needs now is love, sweet love

[Verse 2]

There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine

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, oh, but just for every, every, everyone

(What the world needs now) Oh, oh (is love) is love (sweet love)
(What the world needs now) Oh, oh (is love) is love (sweet love)
