This song was first made popular by Jackie DeShannon back in 1965. It later became one of very few recordings and live performances by its original composer, Burt Bacharach, who performed it during the 1997 film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.
[Chorus]
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 everyone
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
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
[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
No, not just for some, but for everyone
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
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
