(It's a) Family Affair

guitar chords lyrics

Sly & The Family 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'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
