[Verse 1: Whitney Houston] Nothing's better than family For the ones who love you so Be a shoulder to cry on when you're in need They'll never leave you alone, no When your friends bring you down And they drag you through the dirt And when nobody's around They'll carry you through the hurt Just remember that family comes first [Chorus: Choir, Whitney Houston] Where you gonna run to (Where you gonna run) When no one is around (No one is around) Do you think out there they'll love you When your face is on the ground? (Face is on the ground) When you feel your strength is almost gone (Almost gone) And your arms are getting weak (And you're getting weak) And you don't think you'll keep holding on (Hold on) We'll help you stand tall on your feet (Just remember) Family comes first [Verse 2: Dionne Warwick, Cissy Houston & Both] 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 (Remember) that family comes first [Chorus: Choir, Dionne Warwick] Where you gonna run to when no one is around? (Where you gonna run?) Do you think out there they'll love you When your face is on the ground? (You know that we love you) When you feel your strength is almost gone And your arms are getting weak (Ooh) And you don't think you'll keep holding on We'll help you stand tall on your feet [Bridge: Choir, Whitney Houston] Don't you be ashamed of your family Brought you into this earth, and loved you since birth (Untraditionally, yeah, oh yeah) Sometimes you may disagree and won't see eye to eye Don't you run away, oh no They'll be right by your side, oh oh, oh oh [Chorus: Choir, Cissy Houston, Whitney Houston] Where you gonna run to (Who you gonna run to?) When no one is around? (When no one is around) Do you think out there they'll love you When your face is on the ground? (Oh, oh yeah) When you feel your strength is almost gone And your arms are getting weak (Your arms are getting weak) And you don't think you'll keep holding on We'll help you stand tall on your feet (We'll help you stand) (Just remember) (Just remember) Family comes first, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah) [Outro: All] Comes first
