A letra:
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
