I love the family Longer than longevity Mother tells me what to be Taller than the tallest tree I love the family Sister loves me tenderly Sitting on my daddy's knee Let me introduce you to the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family Friends will fall for the family Brother you are dear to me Watch it grow the family tree Can't outrun the family It gets me where I want to be Trough thick and thin it will help me Let me introduce you to the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family/I love the family I love the family Repeat
