I Don't Want To Keep You Hangin' On/La-La Means I Love You/Let It Be Me/What The World Needs Now Is Love

Previous Chapter

I see you maybe once or twice a week

Your love is always strong, never is it weak

There is always something in your heart

It tells me that we shall never part

Every time you say that your heart is mine

You can fill it right up with sunshine

Without you my heart is empty

'Cause it's you I would much rather see

Oh, I don't wanna keep ya hangin' on

I don't wanna do you any wrong

It's to you that I sing this song

Because I don't wanna keep ya hangin' on

I have loved nobody before I have loved you

All the magic can be only shared by two

You're what fills my life with happiness

And when I'm with you, you give me a bless

When your little hand is held in mine

You've made me your angel divine

I can really see Heaven in your smile

Our Candy Land appears wider than a mile

I don't wanna keep ya hangin' on

I don't wanna do you any wrong

It's to you that I sing this song

Because I don't wanna keep ya hangin' on

[segue into next song]

Many boys have come to you

With a line that wasn't true

You passed them by

Now you're in the center ring

Their lines don't even mean a thing

Why don't you let me try?

Now I don't wear a diamond ring

And I hardly have a song to sing

All I know is

La la la la la la la la la means

I love you

La la la la la la la la la means

I love you

If I ever saw a love

I needed in this world

You are the one for me

Let me hold me in my arms

Let me thrill you with my charms

I'm sure you will see

The things I'm saying are true

The way I explain them to you

Listen to me

La la la la la la la la la means

I love you

La la la la la la la la la means

I love you

[segue into next song]

I bless the day I found you

I want to stay around you

So I beg you, let it be me

Don't take this Heaven from one

If must you cling to someone

Now and forever, let it be me

Each time that we meet, love

I find complete love

Without your sweet love, what would life be?

Never leave me lonely

Tell me you love me only

Say you'll always let it be me

[instrumental piece]

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there is just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't ever need another mountain

There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb

There are oceans and rivers enough to cross

And to last until the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't even need another meadow

There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow

There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine

Oh, listen Lord, if You want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there is just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some, oh oh oh but for everyone

[instrumental break]

For everyone
