[originally by 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, and 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 be just fine if you only will (do as i say, yeah) 

Shower the people you love with love 

Show them the way that 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'd 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 



Shower the people you love with love 

Show them the way that you feel 



They say in every life 

They say the rain must fall 

Just like the pouring rain 

Make it rain 

Make it rain 

Love, love, love is sunshine oh 

Make it rain 

Love, love, love is sunshine yeah 

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
