    • SONG: Shower the People song by James Taylor Lesson


      SHOWER THE PEOPLE (James Taylor)

      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 to playin' a fool?

      One thing can be to another
      It doesn't take any sacrifice
      Oh, Father and Mother
      And sister and brother
      If it feels nice
      Don't think twice

      Just 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

      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
      Now 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 that you feel
      Things are gonna be much better, if you only will

      Shower the people you love with love
      Show them the way you feel
      Shower the people you love with love
      Show them the way that you feel

      Shower the people you love with love
      Show them the way that you feel
      Shower the people you love with love
      Show them the way that you feel

      Shower the people you love with love
      Show them the way that you feel
      Shower the people you love with love
      Show them the way that you feel

      Shower the people you love with love
      Show them the way that you feel
      Shower the people you love with love
      Show them the way that you feel

      Shower the people you love with love
      Show them the way that you feel
      Shower the people you love with love
