What this whole world needs is a lot more lovin'
A lot less shovin' around
What this whole world needs is a lot less hatin'
Just straighten up and settle down
Now lovin' your neighbor is the spice of life
MY I said your neighbor not your neighbor's wife
What this whole world needs is a lot more lovin'
A lot less shovin' around
What this whole world needs is a lot more blessin'
A lot less messin' around
What this whole world needs is a lot less fightin'
To brighten up that worried frown
Just wish yourn neighbor well and that will help a lot
Stead of whishin' you've had what's your neighbor's got
What this whole world needs is a lot more lovin'
A lot less shovin' around
[ piano - guitar ]
What this whole world needs is a lot more blessin'...
