Alicia Keys - Blended Family (What You Do For Love) Lyrics






[Alicia Keys:]
Hey, I might not really be your mother
But 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

'Cause 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,
'Cause 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, everybody 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

'Cause 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,
'Cause what you do, what you do, what you do, what you do for love, love

[A$AP Rocky & 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

[A$AP Rocky:]
I remember having four step-moms at nine
Loved Christmas time and birthday was fly
Ate at 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 the step-brothers
And god-sisters, who eventually slept with us

[A$AP Rocky & Alicia Keys:]
Remain loyal, but you did it right, alright
I'm here for you
Everything is alright, alright

[Alicia Keys:]
'Cause what you do, what you do, what you do, what you do for love, yes, 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
'Cause 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 love of the babies, for love
We're a blended family, for love
And it's alright, for love
Said it's alright!

    I never looked at Alicia the same not to be bogus n yes shes defiantly felt some guilt to dedicate this song to Mashonda swiss has to other baby moms why wasnt it dedicated to them aswell oh yea thats right lol

    J.... H....

    She didn't steal anyone. Had you read the book blended. You would know that.

  8. T.... R....

    Am I the only one who hates the rap part. Lol. It ruins the song in my opinion

    T.... R....

    No the whole song is amazing

  9. K.... K....

    We all take care of the kids: teachers, school bus drivers, doctors, daycare dedicate the song to everyone. I need my psychiatrist more than I need my mother. 🧳🥼🕶

    😒She didn't snatch anyone. Swizz was already separated. They have done multiple interviews FOR YEARS SAYING THIS SHIT.

  31. S.... ....

    I'm sorry but I don't respect her anymore at all, that was conniving on both her and Swiss to just write of mashonda like she was just somebody you were getting to know, you were married and grew up together, men always putting pussy over love

    S.... ....

    Trust me it didn't go down the way you think it did. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors and away form the cameras and paparazzi. No one knows ARE FUCKING CARE for that matter. But thank you for your comment. Hopefully all of our lives could be as lovely and care free as yours.

    Alicia will never fall off the map

  54. L.... ....

    amazing !

  55. r.... ....

    The beginning reminds me of some song but i cannot regonize it. does somebody know what's in my head?

  56. W.... B....

    I MYSELF KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST IS TRUE LORD AND GOD OF THIS WORLD AND THE UNIVERSE. HOLY PERIOD.

  57. I.... P....

    That moment when she copy paste straight plagiarised Limp Bizkit - My Way riff. Fuck you Alicia Keys you talentless brat.

    I.... P....

    To be honest she probably has more talent than you. So technically your calling yourself talentless. If she had no talent she would be on YouTube right now watching a video about you. So I feel like your comment doesn't make sense.

  58. A.... B....

    thank you

  59. 8.... ....

    Okay Alicia, I am no longer angry with you..well maybe just a smidge mad, because you became that woman you always wrote about earlier in your music, but glad you wrote this song to make amends. #conflictedstill

  60. s.... G....

    This song sounds like it's from 2009

  61. M.... ....

    I wish the semi rap part wasn't here. This is the one song where I tolerate it tbh ;;

    M.... ....

    Mirror
    But it is there so shut up

  62. g.... n....

    this song is very disturbing in so many ways but oww well let me leave this to KARMA. im pretty sure Angelina knows it very well

  63. C.... R....

    This woman is awesome 👏

  64. C.... R....

    I Think 💭 this song is AWESOME 👏

  65. C.... R....

    I THINK 💭 THI

  66. K.... P....

    This sends me spinning into tears and joy. So fucking beautiful. So important, relevant and made for this day, our times. This is a story of intersectionality. Period.

    Alicia Keys I honor you and seriously you have changed my life.

  67. V.... V....

    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
    'Cause 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
    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
    I think it's beautiful
    I think it's perfect
    I know how hard it gets

  68. I.... O....

    We as people still are supposed to stay away from the appearance of evil.  At the end of the day families are not supposed to be broken.  However, we know people do what they want & then justify it all the time.  Me personally I never wanted a man that would easily leave his woman for me b/c it makes me believe he would leave me for another woman in the future. Having a whorish man isn't nothing to be happy about. It is sad to see a family broken up no matter what the reason for the break-up is.

  69. L.... L....

    OH,i like this song, as i enjoy to hear Waves of Mr Probz.
