People are talkin' 'Bout the way I'm walkin' Troubled by the change in my stride Everyone's askin' 'Bout the way I'm actin' Bothered by the look in my eyes They can see a difference In my way of livin' But they don't know the reason why I can't wait to tell them what is wrong with me Love without condition This is my addiction It's a need that only God can fill Once I got to taste it Nothing could replace it Now I've let it overtake my will I admit my weakness Craving its sweetness I have given in to its control Love has got a hold on me and won't let go I'm under, under the influence I'm under, under the influence I'm under the influence of love Used to feel empty Now I have plenty Ever since I drank from the fountain With the Spirit in me And the strength It gives me A little faith can move mountains Take my life, use me Lord Shine Your light through me for All the world to see that I am not my own Repeat chorus What the world needs is love sweet love What the world needs is love sweet love
