Things are gonna be much better if you only will. [C G]

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
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
Show 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 :||

Ad lib:
They say in every life,
They say the rain must fall
Just like pouring rain
Make it rain
Love is sunshine.
