Family Affair Lyrics - Im Back Family & Friends - 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 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 

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)
