What the world needs now is love
That's one thing we need more of
We're low on the good stuff
And you can never get enough

If you stop and take
A little look around
It'll make you shake
When you hear the sound

On the TV News
With their point of view
It's pretty clear
That we're not there

What the world needs now is love
That's one thing we need more of
We're low on the good stuff
And you can never get enough

Out on the street
Pick up the beat
When you wanna die
Give a battle cry

Reach down in your soul
And become whole
Take a stand
Be a better man

What the world needs now is love
That's one thing we need more of
We're low on the good stuff
And you can never get enough

I woke to find that I was dead
At least that's what St. Peter said
I asked him what went down and why
He just said it was a good day to die

But the world still needs some love
Just one thing we need more of
I said we're low on the good stuff
And you could never get enough
