Burt Bacharach - What the World Needs Now is Love

Another emo post? Maybe, but I like this song.
And I believe in the lyrics. What we all could use in this world now is more caring and loving.
We already have more than enough worries and problems to last a few lifetimes.

A little info on the song before the lyrics:

"What the World Needs Now Is Love" is a 1965 popular song with lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach. It was first recorded, and made popular by Jackie DeShannon. It was released on April 15, 1965 on the Imperial label after a release on sister label Liberty records the previous month was canceled . The song reached number 7 in the US charts May of that year.

The song was originally offered to Dionne Warwick, who turned it down at the time [1]; though she later recorded it for her album Here Where There Is Love. DeShannon's version was recorded on March 23, 1965 at New York's Bell Sound studios. [2]

"What the World Needs Now is Love" has been used in many film soundtracks, notably Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and For the Love of Fred (used as the film's closing theme song in both), Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, My Best Friend's Wedding, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, Hot Shots! and Forrest Gump.


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.

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.

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 needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone.

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, oh, but just for
Every, every, everyone.
