Family Affair - Sly Stone

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 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

It’s a family affair
