What The World Needs Now Is Love lyrics - Andra Day

(originally by Jackie DeShannon)

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 everywhere

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
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
Oh, no, not just for some, but for everyone, everyone

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

Not just for some, but for everyone, everyone

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
(World needs now
Love, sweet love)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
(World needs now
Love, sweet love)
World needs
What the world needs
What the world needs is love, sweet love
Just the love, sweet love
Simply love, sweet love
Love, love, love

What the world needs now
What the world needs

What the world needs now

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
