Lyrics
Family First (com Whitney Houston)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Chorus:
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
(Chorus)
Don't you be ashamed of your family
Put you into this earth
And that's what it's 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
Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
Comes first
