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, breakin' 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 a love today
(Love's in need of love today)
Don't delay
(Don't delay)
Send yours in right away
(Right away)
Hate's goin' 'round
(Hate's goin' round)
Breakin' many hearts
(Breaking 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 today)
Don't, don't delay
(Don't delay)
Send yours in right away
(Right away)
You know that hate's goin' 'round
(Hate's goin' around)
Hate's goin' 'round, hate's goin' around in a trial
(Breakin' hearts)
Wait a minute, 'cause
(Stop it please)
You've got to, I've got to, they've got to
We've got to, we've got to, we've got to
(Gone too far)
Before it's gone too far that
Love's, love's in need
(Love's in need)
Oh love, did you ever think that love would be in need of love today
(Of love today)
(Don't delay)
Don't delay
Send yours in right away
(Right away)
Hate's goin' 'round
Breakin' hearts
Stop it, please
Gone too far
Love's in need
Of love today
Don't delay
Right away
Hate's goin' 'round
Breakin' hearts
Stop it please
Gone too far
Love's in need
Of love today
Don't delay
Right away
Hate's goin' 'round
Breakin' hearts
Stop it please
Right away, just give the world love
Written by Stevie Wonder
From his album: Songs In The Key Of Life (Motown 1976)

I cry every time I hear this song, I thought it was just Stevie Wonder that did it for me. You made this song hit different for me, thinking of those who have died from AIDS, needing a touch, or a hug. I'm thinking of those poor people who died in the hospital from COVID-19, not getting any comfort from human touch. Thank you Billy, for making me feel this song even more. Blessings on Blessings King 💜

[@SC-uq2jf]

@SweetBlaq Coffey, Thank you for your compassionate comment. I took care of 2 of my stepfather's siblings, going to the hospital every night after working long days...I did this for months before they died , [ their own blood family were not there in their final days ]. No one should die alone.

An excellent reprise of a classic. These people should have kept it going. We need people who can sing to fill our hearts with the good energy in this video. They should do more videos of classics and other songs people enjoy. There's a lot of love in these songs and with their talents, people will love them again.

I must admit. I heard this song while dreaming. Couldn't remember the artist just the song. Here's the biggie. In my dream it was sung by these 2 people. Not knowing it had been reproduced for this show, I searched it and lo' & behold this scene popped up in my search...the first video to pop up. Hit the play and sure enough it sounded exactly as I heard in my dream. Surely, in these times we are reminded that Love is indeed much needed.

Just wow, Stevie, Marvin Billie, music with meaning music with a message. The aids walk with a friend is like a cancer walk. My friend passed while I was pregnant. Pregnancy didn't stop me from being there as much as I could once I saw him kicked out of the church, lost his family and the loss of human compassion. 1990 wa hellish and Aids was the devils helper.
