People making list, buying special gifts
It's time to be kind to one and all
It's that time of year when good friends are dear
And you wish you could give more than just a present from a store

Why don't you give love on Christmas day?
(Give love on Christmas day)
Even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Give love on Christmas day
(Give love on Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love

People you don't know smiling out "Hello"
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy
It's that once a year, when the world's sincere
And you'd like to find a way to show the things that words can't say

Why don't you give love on Christmas day?
(Give love on Christmas day)
Oh the man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know that there's someone who cares
Give love on Christmas day
(Give love on Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love

What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs your love

Why don't you give love on Christmas day
(Give love on Christmas day)
Every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas day
(Give love on Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love

What the world needs is love
(World needs love)
Yes the world needs your love
(Yes the world needs)

Why don't you give love on Christmas day
(Give love on Christmas day)
Tom, Dik and Harry and Suzy too
Need love everyday as much as you
Give love on Christmas day
(Give love on Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love

What the world needs is love
(What the world needs love)
Yes the world needs your love
(Yes the world needs)
