Family First

Whitney Houston · Other Songs - Whitney Houston

Oooh Yeah

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
