Amerie Mi Marie Rogers (born January 12, 1980), known professionally as Amerie (Currently Ameriie), is an American recording artist, record producer and actress. She debuted in 2002 with the album All I Have, primarily co-written and produced by Rich Harrison, and was well received. In 2003, she helped develop the BET original series, The Center, Which she also hosted. The series, however, was short live due to Amerie landing a starting role in the 2004 film, First Daughter, alongside Katie Holmes, Marc Blucas, and Michael Keaton. In 2005, Amerie released her sophomore album Touch, which spawned her biggest hit to date, 1 Thing. The song, and the album earned her two Grammy Award nominations and gained her crossover recognition. Her third album, Because I Love It, achieved moderate international success in 2007, although it was not released in North America, and she was subsequently dropped from her label Columbia Records's roster. Amerie released her fourth studio album, In Love & War, in 2009, her first album under Island Def Jam.

Lyrics:
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, 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 wanna tell you what it is
Oh wee it felt so serious
Got me thinking just too much
I wanna set it off, but
It's this 1 thing that's got me trippin
It's this 1 thing that's got me trippin (you did)
This 1 thing my soul may be feeling
It's this 1 thing you did oh oh
It's this 1 thing that caught me slippin
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it (you did)
This 1 thing and I was so with it
It's this 1 thing you did oh oh

Got to be there, got to be there in the morning when she says hello to the world. Got to be there, got to be there, bring her good times and show her that she's my girl. Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know she loves me. 'Cause when I look in her eyes. I realize I need her sharing the world beside me. So I've got to be there, got to be there in the morning, and welcome her into my world, and show her that she's my girl. When she says hello world! Got to be there. Got to be there, got to be there When she needs someone to keep her through the night. Got to be there, got to be there, to take her hand and lead her into my life. Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know she loves me 'Cause when I look in her eyes, I realize I need her sharing the world beside me. That's why I've got to be there, got to be there where love begins and that's ev'rywhere she goes; I've got to be there so she knows that when she's with me she's home.
