In 1990 Usher joined an R&B local quintet called the NuBeginnings, which was organized by local music svengali, Darryl Wheeler and then he decided to pursue a career in music. Aside from recording, Usher has ventured into business. He has established his own record label, US Records, and is a part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise. He has also dabbled in acting, with a recurring role on the teen sitcom Moesha, and roles in the films The Faculty (1998, with Josh Harnett) She's All That (1999, with Freddie Prinze, Jr.) and Texas Rangers (2001, with Ashton Kutcher).

Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Got, got, got)
(Gotta, gotta keep you closer, it feels so right)
Oh (got, got, got, gotta, gotta keep you closer, it feels so right)
Oh
for you I'd write a symphony
I'd tell the violin
Watch 'em play for ya
For you I'd be, whoa, oh
Running a thousand miles
Just to get to where you are
Step to the beat of my heart
I don't need a whole lot but for you I admit I'd
Rather give you the world or we can share mine
I know I won't be the first one
Givin' you all this attention, baby, listen
I just need somebody to love
I, I don't need too much
Just need somebody to love
Somebody to love
I don't need nothing else, I promise, girl, I swear
I just need somebody to love
I need somebody, I, I need somebody
I need somebody, I, I need somebody
Everyday, I bring the sun around
I sweep away the clouds
Smile for me (smile for me)
I would take, every second, every single time
Spend it like my last dime, step to the beat of my heart
I don't need a whole lot but for you I admit I'd
Rather give you the world or we can share mine
I know I won't be the first one
Givin' you all this attention, baby, listen
