    Alicia Keys is REAL. Thank you for this song. I have a step mom and I'm aware she suffers *A LOT*. Not only because she treats me like a daughter (even though she knows outside people will not give her the credit for teaching me values many members of my family were never capable of teaching), but also because a lot of people cant accept she's with my dad now. They see her as "the bad one" when she's far from that. I love you and i'm sorry for not saying it more often and don't having the capability to express my feelings and how thankful I am for your presence in my life.

      Alexandra Oliveira aw that was so sweet! I hope more people accept her, and I hope you have the courage and strength to tell her how much you appreciate her. She deserves it! It's okay if you don't tho; just continue to be nice to her and spread the love!

      @daja57 8 лет назад +26

      They were already having problems and going through the divorce. Everybody acted stupid because the divorce wasn't signed and Alicia and Swizz were together
      . People are so stupid and judgmental. It's not our business. We shouldn't have to look up to artists just to live our lives. What happened to them happens to EVERYBODY.

    Lyrics
    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
    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, love
    For love, for love
    I think it's, my 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 sisters just for dinner 'cause the cookin' was bomb
    Her mothers supper made me love her like she took me to prom (uh)
    And shoutout to my sisters on welfare
    Flacko care, nobody else care
    And shoutout to the step-sisters and step-brothers
    And god-sisters, who eventually slept with us
    Real love, but you doin' it right, alright
    I'm here for you
    Everything'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 (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
