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
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 (blood, 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)
Blood out there, blood out there
(Ain't nothing but a family)
(Nothing but a family affair)
Ain't nothing but a family
Nothing but a family affair
Newlywed a year ago
You're still checking each other out
Nobody wants to blow
Nobody wanna be left out
You can't leave 'cause your heart is there
And you, 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, a family affair (it's a family affair) oh, yeah, oh, yeah
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)
It's a family affair (yeah)
Oh, yeah
