You can play the game and 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 of playing the fool?

When 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, just
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
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
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

You'll feel better right away
Don't take much to do, sell you pride
They say in every life, they say the rain must fall
Just like pouring rain, make it rain
Make it rain, love, love, love is sunshine, oh yes
Make it rain, love, love, love is sunshine, oh right
Everybody, everybody...

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