Lyrics

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
Oh 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 'til the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
Yes, 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
Everyone, everyone
Lord, we don't need another meadow (Another meadow)
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow
(Enough to grow, enough to grow)
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
(Enough to shine)
Oh listen, Lord (Listen, Lord)
If You really wanna to know (If you wanna know)
What the world needs now (Needs now)
Is love, sweet love, sweet love (It's the only thing)
It's the only thing (It's the only thing)
(All you need, all you need) That there's just so little of
What the world, what the world needs now (Needs now)
Is love, sweet love (Sweet love)
No, not just for some
(No, not just for some, no, not just for some)
But just for every (Everyone)
Every (Everyone)
Everyone
We all know what the world needs
(What the world needs, what the world needs
We all need what the world needs)
We all need it
(What the world needs, what the world needs)
That's right (All we need is love, yeah, yeah)
Yes, all we need is love
(What the world needs, what the world needs
What the world needs)
A little bit of love, please, please
(What the world needs, what the world needs)
All we need is love (All we need is love, all you need is love)
(What the world needs, what the world needs, all we need is love)
All we need is love
(Just a little bit of love, real love)
Real love
(All you need is love, just a little bit of love)
Heal the world with love, sweet love
(What the world needs, what the world needs
All you need is love, all you need is love
Could you be loved?)
Could you be loved?

"Her name is Barbra Streisand. She is 20 years old, she has a three-octave promiscuity of range, she packs more personal dynamic power than anybody I can recall since Libby Holman or Helen Morgan. She can sing as loud as Ethel Merman and as persuasively as Lena or Ella, or as brassy as a Sophie Tucker ... and only Barbra Streisand can turn 'Cry Me a River' into something comparable to Enrico Caruso having his first bash at Pagliacci. When Streisand cries you a river, you got a river, Sam ... and she will be around 50 years from now if good songs are still written to be sung by good singers." — Syndicated columnist Robert Ruark, on her 1963 performances at the Blue Angel.
