Somewhere a man will cry out
For help to meet others needs
Inside his heart will break
'Cause his voice no one wants to heed

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a mother mourns her loss
She sits in a lonely tear
Due to the hatred of someone else
Her child is no longer here

[Chorus A]
'Cause love's in need
Of love today
Don't delay
Send Yours in right away
Hates goin' 'round
Breakin' many hearts
Stop and plead
Before it goes too far

[Verse 3]
Your tenderness can heal a heart
That's broken and scarred and torn apart
Somebody needs to feel how much
You really care

[Verse 4]
No longer can we pretend
We don't need love or a true friend
'Cause it wasn't meant to be this way
Yesterday's gone but we can get down on our knees today

[Chorus A x1]

[Chorus B]
'Cause Love's in need (Love's in need)
Of love today (Love's in need)
Don't delay
Send Yours in right away
Hates goin' 'round (Love's in need)
Breakin' many hearts (Love's in need)
Stop and plead
Before it goes too far

[Vamp]
Love, love, love...That's what the world needs now
Love, love, love...Before it goes too far
Break it down a little
Love is very peaceful
So break it down a little bit
