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 cos your heart is there But you can't stay cos you been somewhere else You can't cry cos you look broke down But you cry anyway cos you're all broke down It's a family affair ... Na na na one family, na na na one love ...
