 Think of your fellow man 
 Lend him a helping hand 
 Put a little love in your heart 
 You see it's getting late 
 Oh, please don't hesitate 
 Put a little love in your heart 
  
 And the world will be a better place 
 And the world will be a better place 
 For you and me 
 You just wait and see 
  
 Another day goes by 
 Still the children cry 
 Put a little love in your heart 
 If you want the world to know 
 We won't let hatred grow 
 Put a little love in your heart 
  
 And the world (and the world) will be a better place 
 All the world (all the world) will be a better place 
 For you (for you) 
 And me (and me) 
 You just wait (just wait) 
 And see, wait and see 
  
 Take a good look around 
 And if you're looking down 
 Put a little love in your heart 
 I hope when you decide 
 Kindness will be your guide 
 Put a little love in your heart 
  
 And the world (and the world) will be a better place 
 And the world (and the world) will be a better place 
 For you (for you) 
 And me (and me) 
 You just wait (just wait) 
 And see 
  
 People, now put a little love in your heart 
 Each and every day 
 Put a little love in your heart 
 There's no other way 
 Put a little love in your heart 
 It's up to you 
 Put a little love in your heart 
 C'mon and 
  
 FADE 
 Put a little love in your heart
