Na na na na na, oh (uh uh) [4x]
Oh, been tryin' to let it go
Tryin' to keep my eyes closed
Tryin' to keep it just like before
Times when I never even thought to speak
Don't wanna tell you what it is
Ooh-wee, it feels so serious
Got me thinkin' just too much
I wanna shout it out, but
[chorus]
It's this one thing that got me trippin'
It's this one thing that got me trippin' (you did)
This one thing that so made me feel it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
It's this one thing that caught me slippin'
It's this one thing, I want to admit it (you did)
This one thing and I was so with it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
Hey, we don't know each other well
So, what I keep thinkin' to myself
Memories keep ringin' bells (ding-ding, ding-ding, ding)
Hear voices I don't wanna understand (yeah)
My car keys are jinglin' in my hand (yeah)
My high heels are clickin' towards you door (ding-ding, ding-ding, ding)
[chorus]
It's this one thing that got me trippin'
It's this one thing that got me trippin' (you did)
This one thing that so made me feel it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
It's this one thing that caught me slippin'
It's this one thing, I want to admit it (you did)
This one thing and I was so with it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
[bridge]
And baby, I just can't believe it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
I can't deny it, tired of tryin'
Nothin' left to do but to keep on seein' you
I'm hopin' you can keep a secret for me
Look what you did, yeah, oh, oh, ooh yeah
[chorus]
It's this one thing that got me trippin'
It's this one thing that got me trippin' (you did)
This one thing that so made me feel it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
It's this one thing that caught me slippin'
It's this one thing, I want to admit it (you did)
This one thing and I was so with it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
Oh [4x]
Na na na na na, oh (uh uh) [4x]
[chorus]
It's this one thing that got me trippin'
It's this one thing that got me trippin' (you did)
This one thing that so made me feel it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
It's this one thing that caught me slippin'
It's this one thing, I want to admit it (you did)
This one thing and I was so with it
It's this one thing you did, oh, oh, ooh, oh
Oh [4x til fade]
