Sly & The Family Stone - 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 mud."
It's a family affair, It's a family affair.
Newlywed a year ago.
But you're still checking 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'll
Look broke down
But you're cryin' anyway
'Cause you're all broke
Down!
It's a family affair,
