SHOWER THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE © James Taylor / Country Road Music You can play the game, you can act out the part Though you know it wasn't written for you Tell me how can you stand there with your broken heart Ashamed of playing the fool? One thing can lead to another, it doesn't take any sacrifice Oh, father and mother, sister and brother If it feels nice, don't think twice Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel It's gonna work out fine if you only will If you'll do like I say Shower the people you love with love Show them the way you feel Things are gonna be much better if you only will You can run but you cannot hide This is widely known So tell me what you plan to do with your foolish pride When you're all by yourself and alone Once you tell somebody the way you feel You can feel it beginning to ease I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel Always getting the grease It's better to shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Things are gonna work out fine if you only will What I'd like to do for you Shower the people you love with love And show them the way that you feel It's gonna be much better if you only will Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Oh shower the people you love with love And show them the way that you feel Yeah shower the people you love with love And show them the way that you feel They say in every life They say some rain must fall Yeah, they say in every life They say some rain must fall So make it rain rain rain A shower of love Now you can make it rain rain rain rain A shower of love Your shower of love It's your love
