Album: Family Affair

Your baby's born
He looks like you
Ain't that a miracle, my friend
Today you know
All things were possible again, whoa...

And it's so good
Workin' the way it should
'Cause you can't
You can't break that family love affair
And they're so real
All of the things you feel
Oh, you can't
You can't shake that family love affair
No, you can't

You're hand in hand
You won't let go
'Cause you've got someone on your side, mm-hmm
And we all know
That life is good when love is right

And what love has joined together
May it never fall apart
Just be there for each other
Care for each other with all your heart
In this world of instant coffee
People want that instant love
But isn't love what you make it
Reciprocated
Nothin' less
You'll be blessed

It's so good
Workin' the way it should
'Cause you can't
You can't break that family love affair
And it's so real
All of the things you feel
Oh, you can't
You can't shake that family love affair, whoo!

If things get rough
Try it again, try it again
Keep looking up, try it again
No, don't stop now
Try it again, try it again
You'll work it out, try it again

And what love has joined together
May it never fall apart
Just be there for each other
Care for each other with all your heart
In this world of instant coffee
People want that instant love
But isn't love what you make it
Reciprocated
Nothin' less
You'll be blessed

It's so good
Workin' the way it should
Oh, you can't
You can't shake that family love affair
And they're so real
All of the things you feel
Oh, you can't
Oh, you can't shake that family love affair

Brother to brother
(You can't break that family love affair)
Sister to sister
(You can't shake that family affair)
Father to mother
(You can't break that)
(You can't shake that family affair)
It's a family thing
It's a family thing

Why is it the ones that are so close
Seem to be the ones you hurt the most
I guess 'cause it's a family thing
And even if your heart feels the pain
It doesn't mean that love can stand the strain
It's a family thing, yeah
