The opening song to "Songs In The Key Of Life". One of my favorite songs period. Just Perfect!
Lyrics:
Good morn or evening friends
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
Hate's goin' 'round
Breaking many hearts
Stop it please
Before it's gone too far
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'll hear me when I say
Oh that
Love's in need of love today
(Love's in need of love to-day)
Don't delay
(Don't de-lay)
Send yours in right away
(Right a-way)
Hate's
Hate's goin' 'round
(Hate's goin' 'round)
Breaking many hearts
(Break-ing hearts)
Stop it please
(Stop it please)
Before it's gone too far
(Gone too far)
People you know that
Love's in need of love today
(Love's in need of love to-day)
Don't delay
(Don't de-lay)
Send yours in right away
(Right a-way)
You know that hate's
Hate's goin' 'round
(Hate's goin' 'round)
Breaking many hearts
(Break-ing hearts)
Stop, Stop it please
(Stop it please)
Before it's gone too far
(Gone too far)
It's up to you 'cause
Love's in need of love today
(Love's in need of love to-day)
Don't delay
(Don't de-lay)
Send yours in right away
(Right a-way)
You know that hate's
Hate's goin' 'round
(Hate's goin' 'round)
Breaking hate's tried to break my heart many times
(Break-ing hearts)
Don't, you've got to stop it please
(Stop it please)
Before before before
(Gone too far)
Love's in need of love today
(Love's in need of love to-day)
Don't delay
(Don't de-lay)
Send yours in right away
(Right a-way)
You know that hate's goin' around
Hate's going around
Hate's going around
(Hate's going around)
('Round break-ing hearts)
And it tried to break up many hearts
You've got to, I've got to, they've got to
(Stop it please)
We've got to, they've got to, we've got to
Stop it before it's gone too far
(Gone Too far)
Love's love's in need of love
(Love's in need of love)
Did you ever think that love would be in need of love today?
(To-day)
Don't delay
(Don't De-lay)
Send yours in right away
(Right a-way)
Hate's hate's

Excellent. It was a breakthrough album IIRC as it shattered the 3 min length of song barrier...
