Shower the People
James Taylor
You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you
But 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 yes

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
(Do as I say, yes)
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
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When you're all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that 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

Better to shower the people you love with love
Yes and show them the way that you feel
I know things are gonna be just fine if you only will
(What I like to do to you)
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

Whoa (Shower the people you love with love)
Yeah whoa yeah (Show them the way that you feel)
You'll feel better right away (Shower the people you love with love)
Don't take much to do (Show them the way that you feel)
Sell you pride (Shower the people you love with love)
I say (Show them the way that you feel)
They say in every life (Shower the people you love with love)
They say the rain must fall (Show them the way that you feel)
Just like pouring rain (Shower the people you love with love)
Make it rain (Show them the way that you feel)
Make it rain (Shower the people you love with love)
Love, love, love is sunshine oh (Show them the way that you feel)
Oh yes (Shower the people you love with love)
Make it rain (Show them the way that you feel)
Love, love, love is sunshine yeah (Shower the people you love with love)
All right (Show them the way that you feel)
Everybody, everybody (Shower the people you love with love)
Everybody, everybody (Show them the way that you feel)
Write the lyrics for a pop song made in 1976, titled "Shower the People", by artist "James Taylor".
