Spread Love - Manhattan Transfer, Take 6

I know somebody who declares he has it made

He won’t admit it, but it’s just a masquerade

He’s a modern-day deceiver

With a case of falsehood fever

What a shame, it’s just a game

And then there’s good ol' sister Sarah

Ain’t she sweet?

(Oh, yes she is)

She gets the world, next thing you know it’s in the street

By the time it’s been repeated

All the truth has been deleted

What a shame, another game

Seems like everything we hear is just a tale

But I’ve got something that will never, ever fail

(It's called love)

Spread love, instead of spreading lies

Spread love, the truth needs no disguise

I’ve often said love could open any door

Oh, but I wish we had much more

More love is what we need

Then there’s a family that we’ll just call «the Greens»

(How 'bout 'em?)

They have subscriptions to the gossip magazines

With a twisted sense of vision

They treat rumors like religion

What a shame, it’s the «same-o'-same-o'»

Well, it seemes like everything we hear is just a tale

But I believe in something that will never fail

What the world needs now…

(I'm tellin' you love is what we need)

… is love, more love is what we need

What the world needs now is love…

(We need more love)

… more love is what we need
