Текст песни Shower The People - Live 1976 - 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, playin' a fool?

But 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
I know things are gonna work out fine
If you only will
Hear what I said, go on

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel, oh baby
Things are gonna be much better
If you only will

You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
Now what do 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 guess 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 be just fine (oh)
If you only will, what I'd like to do to you

Shower the people you love with love, oh yes
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better, if you only will

Ooh
Shower the people you love with love, yeah
Show them the way that you feel
(You feel better right away, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Show them the way that you feel

(They say it feels right) shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel (they say the rain will fall)
Shower the people you love with love (just like a fallin' rain, make it rain)
Show them the way that you feel (make it rain)

Shower the people you love with love (love, love, love)
Show them the way that you feel (oh yes, make it rain, rain)
Shower the people you love with love (love, love, love, sunshine)
Show them the way that you feel

I know that things are gonna be much better
If you only will

David Sanborn is back with us, he played
Piece of yellow curved metal to me
Some hardware
So this tune is written by Daniel Cooch-Kortchmar
Yonder he be

This song is called, "Honey, don't leave L.A."
About a man who falls in love with a French wench
She has to go home, breaks his heart
