Lyrics:

Shower the People is the opening track to James Taylor’s album In the Pocket.
The song peaked at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart for a week in August of 1976.You can play the game, you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you
Tell me, how do 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
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
What you plan to do with your fool's 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
Show them the way that you feel
(I know) Things are gonna turn out right
If you only will (What I'd like do to you)
What you know
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 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
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
