One Big Unhappy Family by Isaac Hayes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I kiss her goodbye every morning
And I'm back home at five every day
Everybody thinks we're the neighborhood example
And you know, I wouldn't have it any other way
I take the kids to church every Sunday
I try so hard, oh, to teach them what life is about
They think mommy and daddy is something special, oh yeah
And it would break their little hearts, oh Lord, if they ever found out
If they ever found out, oh

[Chorus]
We're just one big unhappy family
And we're too proud to let our feelings show
That we're one big unhappy family
And we can't afford to let anyone know

[Verse 2]
If I call from work and the phone is busy (Busy)
I never, never, never, never
I never ask who was on the line, oh no
If I get home late, she don't ask any questions, oh no she don't
You know why
'Cause she's got her thing going
And you know I got mine, I got mine
Oh, that's why
[Chorus]
We're one big unhappy family
And we're too proud to let our feelings show
That we're one big unhappy family
And we can't afford to let anyone know
We're just one big unhappy family
And we're too proud to let our feelings show
That we're one big unhappy family
And we can't afford to let nobody, nobody know
That we're one, one big unhappy family, oh yes we are
We're too proud to let our feelings show
That we're just one big unhappy family
We can't afford to let nobody know
That we're, oh yes we are, unhappy family
We can't afford to let nobody, nobody know
That we're, ooh, one unhappy family
I can't afford to let everybody or anybody know
That we're one big unhappy family
We're just too proud to let our feelings show
