Young M.A - Blended Family (What You Do For Love) lyrics

[Verse 1: Young M.A.] Growing up I had a little sister, older brother And for us a father figure was a single mother My daddy was locked up, my mother was knocked up And every now and then my brother's father would pop up But I considered him dad Because he would give me basically anything that I asked Fresh kicks for the summer, I would crease 'em and scuff 'em Goose coat for the winter with a new pair of bu*ters (Ooouuu) He treated me like I was his A single mother, no daddy, that's just how we lived We didn't understand cuz we was just kids A blended family, at times that's just what it is That's just what it is [Verse 2: 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 [Pre-Hook: Alicia Keys] 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 [Hook: Alicia Keys] That's what you do, what you do, what you do What you do for love 'cause there ain't nothing, 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 [Verse 3: Alicia Keys] 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 ya Mama Baby everybody here you know adores ya [Pre-Hook: Alicia Keys] I think it's beautiful I think its perfect I know how hard it gets But I swear it's worth it, worth it [Hook: Alicia Keys] That's what you do, what you do, what you do What you do for love 'cause there ain't nothing, 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 [Bridge: Alicia Keys] 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 [Hook: Alicia Keys] 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 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 [Outro: Alicia Keys] That's just what you do (for love) For 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
