  • 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
    But 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 that you feel
    Things are gonna be much better if you only will

    Whoa (shower the people you love with love)
    Yeah, shower (show them the way that you feel)
    Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah (shower the people you love with love)
    (Show them the way that you feel)
    (Shower the people you love with love)
    You'll feel better right away
    (Show them the way that you feel)
    Don't take much to do, sell your pride

    (Shower the people you love with love)
    And 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, make it rain (shower the people you love with love)
    Love, love, love is sunshine, yeah (show them the way that you feel)
    Alright (shower the people you love with love)
    Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody (show them the way that you feel) Writer/s: James Taylor

  • Brooke Mccloud from Phoenix, AzHis hits got more modest but many endured as classics that stood the test of time and remained in his setlist decades later. "Mexico" and "Handy Man" are other examples.
    That JT album was a monster. I know. I lived through hearing "Your Smiling Face" and "Handyman" every day for a year solid on the radio; James Taylor's hits got more modest after the JT album. I will agree with that.
