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 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.
Newlyweds a year ago,
but they're still checkin' each other out, hey.
Nobody wants to glow,
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 let your folks 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.
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, well.
It's a family affair, it's a family affair.
It's a family affair, it's a family affair.
