《Dilemma》是美国男歌手尼力与
天命真女成员
凯莉·罗兰合作的歌曲,词曲由肯尼斯·甘伯尔、邦尼·西格勒、科奈尔·海耶斯及安托因·梅肯创作。歌曲被收录在尼力第二张录音室专辑《
Nellyville》,于2002年6月25日作为专辑第二支单曲发行。
创作背景
《Dilemma》是在尼力的录音室专辑《Nellyville》完成之时被收录进来的。在专辑完成时一位制作人向尼力呈交了一份本曲的框架。而当尼力听到歌曲的节奏时,便喜欢上了这首歌曲,并决定将歌曲添至《Nellyville》内。随后他补充了歌曲的其余部分,完成了整首歌曲的谱写。而在之后进入录音室时,尼力改变了自身的想法,他认为歌曲需要一位女歌手的合作参与。他想到了好友凯莉·罗兰,并一直坚持与其合作的观点。尼力通过电话联系到了她,而之后才有了这首歌曲的诞生。歌曲取样了女歌手
帕蒂·拉贝尔的歌曲《Love, Need and Want You》。
歌曲歌词
英文
I love you and I need you
Nelly, I love you, I do
Need you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
You know I'm crazy over you
Uh-uh-uh-uh
I met this chick and she just moved right up the block
From me
And she got the hots for me, the finest thing I need
To see
But oh, no, no, she got a man and a son, oh-oh, but
That's okay
Cause I wait for my cue and just listen, play my
Position
Like a shortstop, pick up everything mami hittin'
And in no time I better make this friend mine and
That's for sure
Cause I-I never been the type to break up a happy
Home
But there's something 'bout baby girl, I just cant
Leave her lone
So tell me, ma, what's it gonna be
She said, you don't know what you mean to me, come
On
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
You know I'm crazy over you
Uh-uh-uh-uh
I see a lot in your look and I never say a word
I know how nigures start actin' trippin', and hate up
All the girls
And there's no way Nelly go for it
Ain't fuckin' with no dame, as you could see
But I-I like your steeze, your style, your whole
Demeanor
The way you come through and holler, and swoop me in
His two-seater
Now that's gangsta and I got special ways to thank ya,
Don't you forget it
But it ain't that easy for you to back up and leave
Him
But you and me we got ties for different reasons
I respect that and right before I turned to leave
She said, you don't know what you mean to me, come
On
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
You know I'm crazy over you
Sing it for me, k
I love and I need you
Nelly, I love you, I do
And it's more than you'll ever know
Boy, it's for sure
You can always count on my love
Forever more, yeah, yeah
East coast, I know you're shakin' right
Down south, I know you're bouncin' right
West coast, I know you're walkin' right

No matter what I do
All I think about is you

You know I'm crazy over you

歌曲鉴赏
正如歌曲歌名,歌曲展示了一位陷入热恋的女性面对感情禁忌时的宣言以及男主角面临的进退两难的处境,是帕蒂·拉贝尔1983年歌曲《Love, Need and Want You》甜蜜直白的补充语。歌曲像是所处周围环境的音调,在某些方面拥有着其他艺术家的作品中所不具备的内容。这首歌曲以尼力所谱写的歌词和以尼力的风格诉说的故事打动了听众。整首歌曲以F大调为主,节拍设为每分钟84次。
