Family Affair
One child grows up to be,
Somebody that just loves to learn.
And a-nother child grows up to be,
Somebody you'd just love to burn.
Mom loves tge both of them,
You see it's in the blood.
Both kids are good to mama,
Blood's thicker than the mud.
It's a family affair.
(It's a family affair.)
It's a family affair.
(It's a family affair.)
Newly-wed a year ago,
But you're still checkin' each other out.
Hey, nobody wants to blow,
Nobody wants to be left out.
Un-hunh, you can't leave,
'Cause your heart is there.
But you can't stay,
'Cause you been somewhere else.
You can't cry,
'Cause you look broke down.
But you cryin' anyway,
'Cause you're all broke down.
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.)
Somebody that just loves to learn.
And a-nother child grows up to be,
Somebody you'd just love to burn.
Mom loves tge both of them,
You see it's in the blood.
Both kids are good to mama,
Blood's thicker than the mud.
It's a family affair.
(It's a family affair.)
It's a family affair.
(It's a family affair.)
Newly-wed a year ago,
But you're still checkin' each other out.
Hey, nobody wants to blow,
Nobody wants to be left out.
Un-hunh, you can't leave,
'Cause your heart is there.
But you can't stay,
'Cause you been somewhere else.
You can't cry,
'Cause you look broke down.
But you cryin' anyway,
'Cause you're all broke down.
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.)
