John Legend, Joss Stone, Van Hunt - Family Affair lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah mm, mm, oh, yeah, ooh
Ooh, yeah, no oh, ooh hey come on

It's a family affair (Ooh,  ooh)
It's a family affair  (Oh, yeah, yeah)
It's a family affair it's a family affair

One child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn, yeah
Another child grows up to be
Somebody we'd just love to burn

Mother loves
(The both of them) the both of them
You see, it's in the blood, 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 my family affair)
It's a family affair


(No, no, Hey, ooh, Whoa, no, yeah)

I've been newlywed, just a year ago
(Year ago)
But they're still checking each other out
And nobody wants to blow (Nobody)
Nobody wants to be left out (Uh, huh)

Can't leave 'cause your heart is there
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
(But you're cryin' anyway)
'Cause you're all broke down
('Cause you're all broke down)

It's a family affair (It's a family affair)
It's a family affair
(Oh, yeah, It's a family affair)
It's a family affair (Family affair)
It's a family affair (Hey, Hey, yeah)

It's your turn come on now

(Sh-, sh) hey

It's a family affair
(Said, it's all of us, yeah)
It's a family affair (It's my family, yeah)
It's a family affair (It's my family affair)
It's a family affair (Hey, oh)
All over the world, yeah ()
See, it's in the blood it's a family affair
Yeah, hey yeah, yeah it's a family affair
Do you know what I'm talking about?
It's a family affair
You see, it's in the blood
It's my family affair it's a family affair
It's a family affair
Do you know what I'm talking about?
It's a family affair
