Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na

Oh, been trying to let it go
Trying to keep my eyes closed
Trying to keep it just like before
The times we never even thought to speak
Don't want to tell you what it is
Oh wee it felt so serious
Got me thinking just too much
I want to set it off, but

[Chorus]
It's this one thing that's got me trippin'
It's this one thing that's got me trippin' (you did)
This one thing my soul may be feeling
It's this one thing you did oh oh
It's this one thing that caught me slippin'
It's this one thing don't want to admit it
This one thing and I was so with it
It's this one thing you did oh oh oh oh

Hey, we don't know each other well
So what? I keep thinking to myself
Memories just keep ringing bells
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Hear voices I don't want to understand
My car keys are jingling in my hand
My high heels are clicking towards your door.
Oh oh, oh oh, oh

[Chorus]

Maybe I just can't believe it
It's this one thing you did oh oh
I can't deny, tired of trying
Open up the door, but just keep on seeing you
I'm hoping you can keep a secret
For me, for me, for me
But what you did, yeah

[Chorus]

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Na, na, na, na, na oh
Oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na

[Chorus]

This one thing and I was so with it
It's this one thing you did oh oh

[Chorus]

Oh oh, oh oh

    General Comment:Wait a second there Ian-Sama. Amerie is NOT trying to channel Beyonce. First of all,not every talented black girl is trying to emulate her. Beyonce is not even that talented, to be honest. Amerie has her own style and does her own thing. This song is a certified banger! She's finding herself getting wrapped up in this guy and she can't exactly figure out why, just that it's this 'one thing.' Just goes to show that it's the little things that make you fall in love..............

    General Comment:I don't think she is saying "knock knock knock oh,"
    She's saying "gobble gobble gobble", like a turkey

    General Comment:"Knock, knock, knock, oh
    Knock, knock, knock, oh
    Knock, knock, knock, oh
    Knock, knock, knock..."

    *guy next door opens door* "BITCH, SHUT THE FUCK UP! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!

    I like this song, but she tries too hard tobe Beyoncé... and she will always try in vain.

    General Comment:I think it's about the moment of realisation that you want to be more than just friends with someone. They may have just said something or looked at you in a particular way. then bang. you want them.
    It does not say knock knock knock.
    she's just scatting. more like, nah nah nah nah nah oh. some talking is missing as well.

    General Comment:I think it's about meeting a guy and finding herself falling for him even though she doesn't want to.

    One thing maybe the way he looks, smells, talks, walks, touches her, whatever. The X Factor some call it
