Lyrics and translation
Original
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Good morn or evening, friend.
Here's your friendly announcer.
I have serious news to pass on to everybody.
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, oh.
Hate's going around breaking many hearts.
Stop it, please, before it's gone too far.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
The force of evil plans to make you its possession, and it will, if we let it, destroy everybody.
We all must take precautionary measures.
If love and peace you treasure, then you hear me when I say that love is in need of love today.
Don't delay, send yours in right away, oh.
Oh, hate's going 'round breaking many hearts.
Oh, we got to stop it, please, before it's gone too far, oh.
Oh, love is in need of love today.
Don't you delay, all we gotta do is send our love right away, 'cause hate's gone, oh.
And it's breaking so many hearts, yes, it is.
We got to stop it before it's gone too far.
L-O-V-E, of love today.
Don't you delay, 'cause we gotta save these people.
We gotta love each other over and over and over.
We gonna make it right.
Yes, we got another chance to make things right. We got to give the world
L-O-V-E.
Love!
