Good morn or evening friends
Here's your friendly announcer
I have serious news to pass on to every-body
What I'm about to say
Could mean the world's disaster
Could change your joy and laughter to tears and pain

It's that
Love's in need of love today
Don't delay
Send yours in right away
Hate's goin' round
Breaking many hearts
Stop it please
Before it's gone too far

The force of evil plans
To make you its possession
And it will if we let it
Destroy ev-er-y-body
We all must take
Precautionary measures
If love and please you treasure
Then you'll hear me when I say

Oh that
Love's in need of love today, love's in need of love today
Don't delay, don't delay
Send yours in right away, right away
Hate's goin' round, hate's goin' round
Breaking many hearts, breaking hearts
Stop it please, stop it please

Before it's gone too far, gone too far

People you know that
Love's in need of love today, love's in need of love today
Don't delay, don't de-lay
Send yours in right away, right away
You know that hate's, hate's
Hate's goin' round, goin' round
Breaking many hearts, break-ing hearts
Stop, stop it please
Before it's gone too far, gone too far

It's up to you cause
Love's in need of love today, love's in need of love today
Don't delay, don't delay
Send yours in right away, right away
You know that hate's, hate's
Hate's goin' round, goin' round
Breaking - hate's tried to break my heart many times, breaking hearts
Don't, you've got to stop it please, stop it please
Before, before, before gone too far

Hate's, hate's, hate's goin' round
Bring it down a little, love is very peaceful
So bring it down a little
Well, please stop it
Uh L-O-V-E love Oh
Love's in need of love today
Don't delay
Right away
Just give the world LOVE
