Family Affair 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
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/family-affair-lyrics-sly-stone.html ] 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, hey, a family affair (It's a family affair) Ow (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) Well Do-do-do-do Hey-hey-hey (It's a family affair) (It's a family affair)
