KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 f***in' 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

You can always count on my love
Forever more, yeah, yeah

The lyrics to Kidz Bop's song Dilemma tells the story of an individual in a difficult situation of having feelings for someone who is already in a committed relationship. The first verse is addressed to Nelly, expressing the individual's love and need for him, but then acknowledges that all they can think about is the other person. In the second verse, the individual talks about meeting someone who lives close to them and is interested in them but has a boyfriend and child. The individual continues to pursue them regardless of the fact that they respect relationships and would not typically go after someone in a committed relationship. However, there is something about this woman that they just can't ignore. The chorus repeats the idea that no matter what they do, they can't stop thinking about the other person, and they are crazy over them.
The last verse is more of a plea from the other person (presumably the woman mentioned in the previous verses) to come to her, saying that the individual doesn't know what they mean to her. The song ends with various geographic regions mentioned and how they are reacting to the song.
Overall, the lyrics to Dilemma explore the conflict between immediate desires and respect for relationships. It portrays the struggle between following your heart and doing what is considered morally right.
