Well the blowup was a mess
And the fallout takes its toll
You've got coffee on your dress
Gasoline there in your soul
Now we hurt each other yes
Still I really must confess
I don't love you any less
Maybe even more
We all know family's a funny thing
But it's all we've got against whatever life is gonna bring
Now the words we used were cruel
Weapons keen on drawing blood
And so the golden rule
Was dragged right through the mud
Now I don't believe that means
We can't ever wipe it clean
There ain't nothin' mean or dirty in forgiveness
We all know family's a funny thing
But it's all we've got against whatever life is gonna bring
We all know family's a funny thing
Something deeper seems to kick in when it's hanging by a string
We don't need to get along
All the time to sing a song
Puts the smile in someone else's day
Agree to disagree
Have a little faith in me
I'm pretty sure now it's the only way
We all know family's a funny thing
But it's all we've got against whatever life is gonna bring
We all know family's a funny thing
But it gets a little easier when everybody sings
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
