Lyrics
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
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
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
Over there, over there
Newlywed a year ago
But you're still checking each other out, hey
Nobody wants to blow
Nobody wants to be left out, uh-huh
You can't leave 'cause your heart is there
But, sure, you can't stay 'cause you been somewhere else
You can't cry 'cause you'll look broke down
But you're 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
(Oh, yeah, family affair) it's a family affair
(Ah) it's a family affair
It's a family affair (oh)
It's a family affair
It's a family affair (it's a family affair)
It's a family affair (oh, yeah)
No, no, not anymore, ah
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
