VERSE 
Bm       D                       A    E 
Hey I might not really be your mother 
Bm              D                        A    E 
But that don't mean that I don't really love ya 
Bm          D                  A    E 
And even though I married your father 
Bm               D             A        E 
That's not the only reason I'm here for ya 

Pre-Chorus 
                   Bm 
I think you're beautiful 
D               A     E 
I think you're perfect 
E         Bm 
I know how hard it gets 
  D                 A             E 
But I swear it's worth it, worth it 

              Bm 
Cause what you do, what you do,  
          D                  A  E 
what you do, what you do for love 
            Bm 
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothing,  
            D                 A      E 
there ain't nothing I won't do for us 
     Bm          D                A              E 
It may not be easy, this blended family, but baby 
             Bm 
Cause what you do, what you do,  
         D                  A          E 
what you do, what you do for love, love

VERSE 
Bm          D                     A    E 
I know it started with a little drama 
 Bm          D                   A     E 
I hate you had to read it in the paper 
Bm                D                     A      E 
But everything's over with me being your mama 
Bm              D                A      E 
Baby everybody here you know adores ya

And I think it's beautiful 
D               A   E 
I think it's perfect 
E           Bm         D 
I know how hard it gets 
D                 A           E 
But I swear it's worth it, worth it 

Chorus 
              Bm 
Cause what you do, what you do,  
          D                  A  E 
what you do, what you do for love 
            Bm 
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

Bm D A E       Bm D A E 
For love, for love 
               Bm D          A E 
Are you this real, my true love? 
                 Bm            D 
Cause you're my baby, rejoice daily 
           A                    E 
I believe love could bring us closer than blood 
  
     Bm                        D 
I remember having four step moms at nine 
A                         E 
Loved Christmas time and birthday was fly 
           Bm                                D 
Ate at my sisters just for dinner cause the cookin' was bomb 
                 A                             E 
Her mother's supper made me love her like she took me to prom (uh) 
 Bm                   D 
And shoutout to my sisters on welfare 
A              E 
Flacko care, nobody else care 
Bm                         D 
And shoutout to the step sisters and the step brothers 
 A                     E 
And god-sisters, who eventually slept with us 
Bm           D                 A       E 
Real love, but you did it alright, alright 
    Bm        D 
I'm here for you 
D               A          E 
Everything is alright, alright 

              Bm 
Cause what you do, what you do,  
          D                  A  E 
what you do, what you do for love 
            Bm 
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothing,  
            D                 A      E 
there ain't nothing I won't do for us 
     Bm          D                A              E 
It may not be easy, this blended family, but baby 
             Bm 
Cause what you do, what you do,  
         D                  A          E 
what you do, what you do for love, love 

         Bm          D     A   E 
That's just what you do, yeah (for love) 
                Bm   D       A     E 
For love of the babies (for love) 
           Bm     D      A     E 
We're a blended family (for love) 
          Bm     D     A   E 
And it's alright (for love)
