What the World Needs

[Chorus]
What the world needs is love
What the world needs is love
Sent from the stars above
What the world needs is love

[Verse 1]
Stand up and make things right
So that the brokenhearted
Can see a little light
Cool down the bass, wind up your waist
Sound system in a tenement yard
[?] and get started
The music in our hearts
From the sound of the waves and the dub of the bass

[Pre-Chorus]
When the moon is big and bright
I see the starlight in your eyes
(Woah-oh)

[Chorus]
What the world needs is love
What the world needs is love
Sent from the stars above
What the world needs is love
Did we give all our love?
Did we even give enough?
Sent from the stars above
What the world needs is love

[Verse 2]
Don't need a night [?]
It's just a reggae [?]
Sly and Robbie told me so
Pull down the bass, wind up your waist
Slow down, hold out
Anything that you can do
So it gets better
So it gets better

[Pre-Chorus]
When the moon is big and bright
I see the starlight in your eyes
(Woah-oh)

[Chorus]
What the world needs is love
What the world needs is love
Sent from the stars above
What the world needs is love
Did we give all our love?
Did we even give enough?
Sent from the stars above
What the world needs is love

[Bridge]
You tell me that you're leavin'
It sets my heart a-beatin'
I've said it before and I'll say it again

[Chorus]
What the world needs is love
What the world needs is love
Sent from the stars above
What the world needs is love
Did we give all our love?
Did we even give enough?
Sent from the stars above
What the world needs is love

What the world needs is love
(Love sweet love, love sweet love)
What the world needs is love
(Love sweet love, love sweet love)
Sent from the stars above
(Love sweet love, love sweet love)
What the world needs is love
(Love sweet love, love sweet love)
Love sweet love, love sweet love
Love sweet love, love sweet love
Love sweet love, love sweet love
Love sweet love, love sweet love
