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
