It's a family affair it's a family affair

One child grows up to be

Somebody that just loves to learn

And another child grows up to be

Somebody you'd just love to burn

Mom loves the both of them

You see it's in the blood

Both kids are good to mom

But blood's thicker than mud

It's a family affair it's a family affair

It's a family affair it's a family affair

Lord it's a family affair it's a family affair

It's a family affair it's a family affair

Newlywed a year ago

But you're still checking each other out yes you are

Nobody wants to blow

And nobody wants to be left out no

You can't leave

'Cause your heart is there

You can't stay

'Cause you've been somewhere else

You can't cry

'Cause you'll look broke down

But you're crying anyway

'Cause you're all broke down

It's a family affair it's a family affair

Yeah it's a family affair it's a family affair

It's a family affair it's a family affair

It's a family affair it's a family affair

It's a family affair it's a family affair

It's a family affair it's a family affair

It's a family affair it's a family affair

It's a family affair it's a family affair

It's a family affair it's a family affair
