"Dilemma"的詞曲作者是R. Kelly，這首歌的詞如下：
chorus:
Cause I'm having a dilemma
Cause I'm having a hard time trying to make a decision
Whether I should stay or should I go
Chase a dream or take care of a child
Verse 1:
My mind's saying go for it
But my heart's saying no
Can't just break her heart and run away
But at the same time, can't keep her dream from coming true
Chorus:
Cause I'm having a dilemma
Cause I'm having a hard time trying to make a decision
Whether I should stay or should I go
Chase a dream or take care of a child
Verse 2:
Her dreams are so big, she might drown in them
And if I'm not there to save her, then who will be?
And I don't want to be that guy, the one who let her down, the one who failed to see her dreams come true
Chorus:
I'm having a dilemma
Trying to make a decision
Whether I should stay or should I go
Chase a dream or take care of a child
Bridge:
But maybe she's just a little too young to know what she wants
Or maybe she needs someone to show her the way
Or maybe, just maybe, she'll fall in love with me and change my mind about leaving
Chorus:
And now my mind's going crazy, it's spinning around in circles
Trying to figure out what to do, whether I should go or stay
It's like I'm stuck in some kind of dilemma that won't end!
