My Dilemma Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You make me so upset sometimes
I feel like I could lose my mind
The conversation goes nowhere
'Cause you're never gonna take me there

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know what I know
And I know you're no good for me
Yeah, I know what I know
And I know it's not meant to be

[Chorus]
Here's my dilemma:
One half of me wants ya
And the other half wants to forget

My-my-my dilemma from the moment I met ya
I just can't get you outta my head
And I tell myself to run from you
But I find myself attracted to my dilemma
My dilemma, it's you, it's you

[Verse 2]
Your eyes have told a thousand lies
But I believe them when they look in mine
I heard the rumors, but you won't come clean
I guess I'm hoping it's because of me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know what I know
And I know you're no good for me
Yeah, I know what I know
And I know it's not meant to be

[Chorus]
Here's my dilemma:
One half of me wants ya
And the other half wants to forget
My-my-my dilemma from the moment I met ya

I just can't get you outta my head
And I tell myself to run from you
But I find myself attracted to my dilemma
My dilemma, it's you, it's you

[Bridge]
Oh, I could live without you
Your smile, your eyes, the way you make me feel inside
I could live without you
But I don't wanna, I don't wanna, oh
Oh, you make me so upset sometimes
(Here's my dilemma, oh oh)

[Chorus]
Here's my dilemma:
One half of me wants ya
And the other half wants to forget
My-my-my dilemma from the moment I met ya
I just can't get you outta my head (Can't get you outta my)
And I tell myself to run from you
But I find myself attracted to my dilemma
My dilemma, it's you, it's you
[Outro]
(It's you, it's you)
It's you, it's you, it's you, it's you (It's you)
It's you, it's you, it's you
My-my-my dilemma

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

“My Dilemma” is my Kelly Clarkson kind of pop rock. You have to have a break-up song. You have to have one of those songs about a boy that drives you crazy. It’s really just one of those songs that I can sing over and over and over again.
