Melodi: Burt Bacharach 1965 - Tekst: Hal David 1965
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 ev'ryone.
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 ...
Lord, we don't need another meadow,
there are cornfieids and wheatfields enough to grow.
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,
oh, listen, Lord, if you want to know.
