Blended Family (What You Do for Love) Songtext
von Alicia Keys

Hey, I might not really be your mother
That don′t mean that I don't really love ya
And even though I married your father
That′s not the only reason I'm here for ya

I think you're beautiful
I think you′re perfect
I know how hard it gets
But I swear it′s worth it, worth it

That's what you do, what you do
What you do, what you do for love
There ain′t nothing, there ain't nothing
There ain′t nothing I won't do for us
It may not be easy
This blended family, but baby
That′s what you do, what you do
What you do, what you do for love, love


I know it started with a little drama
I hate you had to read it in the paper
But everything's alright with me and your mama
Baby everyone here you know adores ya

And I think it's beautiful
I think it′s perfect
I know how hard it gets
But I swear it′s worth it, worth it

That's what you do, what you do
What you do, what you do for love
There ain′t nothing, there ain't nothing
There ain′t nothing I won't do for us
It may not be easy
This blended family, but baby
That′s what you do, what you do
What you do, what you do for love, love

For love, for love
Are you this real, my true love
'Cause you're my baby, rejoice daily
I believe love could bring us closer than blood


I remember having four step-moms at nine
Loved Christmas time and birthday was fly
Hit my sister′s just for dinner ′cause the cookin' was bomb
Her mother′s supper made me love her like she took me to prom, uh
And shoutout to my sisters on welfare
Flacko care, if nobody else care
And shoutout to the step-sisters and step-brothers
And god-sisters, who eventually slept with us
Real love, but you do it right, alright
I'm here for you
Everthing′s alright, alright

That's what you do, what you do
What you do, what you do for love (That′s just what you do)
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothing
There ain′t nothing I won′t do for us (For you baby)
It may not be easy
This blended family but baby
That's what you do, what you do
What you do, what you do for love, love

That′s just what you do, yeah (For love)
For the love of the babies (For love)
We're a blended family (For love)
And it′s alright (For love)
Said it's alright
I′ll be here forever
