It's a family affair, it's a family affair
It's a family affair, it's a family affairOne child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be
Somebody you'd just love to burnMom 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 affairNewlywed a year ago
But you're still checking each other out
Nobody wants to blow
Nobody wants to be left out
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'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 oh hey ya
It's a family affair, it's a family affair
