Song Lyrics

It's a family affair

One child grows up to be somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be someone who needs concern
Mother loves both of them, you see it's in the blood
Father loves both of them, blood's thicker than the mud

It's a family affair

Newly-wed a year ago, still checkin' 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 look broke down
But you cry anyway 'cause you're all broke down

It's a family affair

Na na na one family, na na na one love

Sylvester Stewart
