Family First
Whitney Houston · Other Songs - Whitney Houston
Nothing's better than family,
For the ones who love you so
Be a shoulder to cry on when you are in need
They will never leave you alone
when your friends bring you down
And they drag you through the dirt
And nobody is around
They will carry you through the hurt
Just remember that family comes first
where you gonna run to? when no one is around
Do you think how dare they will love you.
When your face is on the ground? (face is on the ground),
When you feel your strength is almost gone
And When your heart is getting weak (getting weak)
And you don't think you can keep holding on
And they stand for your feet (just remember)
Family comes first
I can see you crying - someone broke your heart,
Instead of being with those who love you,
you spend time apart, It's because you think
they won't understand
The pain you're going through, So you don't reach out your
hand for them, 'til they'll pull and reach for you.
Just remember that family comes first
where you gonna run to? when no one is around
Do you think how dare they will love you.
When your face is on the ground? (face is on the ground),
When you feel your strength is almost gone
And When your heart is getting weak (getting weak)
And you don't think you can keep holding on
And they stand for your feet (just remember)
Family comes first
Don't you be ashamed of your family, put you into this earth,
and thats what its worth unconditionally, sometimes you may
disagree and wont see eye to eye
Don't you run away they will be right by your side
ooooh ohhh
Where you gonna run to? when no one is around
Do you think how dare they will love you.
When your face is on the ground? (face is on the ground),
When you feel your strength is almost gone
And When your heart is getting weak (getting weak)
And you don't think you can keep holding on
And they stand for your feet (just remember)
Family comes first
yeahyeah (yeah yeah yeah)
Comes first
