I want the world
The whole wide world
To stop and listen to me
If we're going to stick together
We've got to be a family
This love
Love
Love
Have yourself a good, good time
But don't you know
It's getting late
Yeah, if this world
Is gonna be our home
We gotta make it strong
By living together
'Cause if this world
Is gonna be our home
We've got to make it strong
By living together
Have yourself a good, good time
But don't you know
It's getting late
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give me peace
Give me sweet, sweet peace
So I can do my thing
I don't want no wars to hurt me
'Cause hurt is all it brings
Lets take the time
To check it on out
And learn what's right and wrong
Someday we can tell our children
That all the wars are gone
Love, love, love
Have yourself a good, good time
But don't you know
It's getting late
If this world
Is gonna be our home
(We gotta believe)
Gotta make it strong
By living together
If this world
Is gonna be our home
We gotta make it strong
By living together
Have yourself a good, good time
But don't you know
It's getting late
(Have yourself a good, good time)
(Have yourself a good, good time)
Gotta make it strong together
It's the only way to do it
Please, please, please
The whole wide world
To stop and listen to me
If we're going to stick together
We've got to be a family
This love
Love
Love
Have yourself a good, good time
But don't you know
