So Confused
Keke Wyatt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aw la la la la da da
Lada da laa laa
Can't get you off of my mind
I thought somebody new and some time would do
But still I can't seem to let you go
Now I'm with somebody else and he loves me so
He'll do anything
Just to let me know I'm his one
So do I stay where I'm at
Do I try to get back with the one I truly love
[Chorus]
I am so confused
What am I to do
He's in love with me
I'm in love with you
Tell me what am I gonna do
I am so confused
What am I to do this is killing me tearing me in two
He loves me but I love you
I'm caught in a catch 22, don't know
What I'm gonna do which ever way I turn I lose,
If its you I'm in love
If its him I feel loved
Someone please tell me who do chose,
(they say) love the one that your with
(that's what they say)
If you can't be with the one that you love
Well if I love who I'm with
Will I find happiness
Searching for what I had yesterday
[Chorus]
KeKe Wyatt’s song “So Confused” speaks to the turmoil and internal struggle that comes with being in a complicated love triangle. The lyrics express a multi-layered dilemma of the heart: the question of whether to stay with someone who loves you or to pursue the one you truly love. The opening lines, “Can’t get you off my mind / I thought somebody new and some time would do / But still I can’t seem to let you go” are indicative of the singer’s desperation to move on from a previous lover who is constantly on her mind. She then reveals she’s with someone new who loves her deeply and “will do anything” to show her she’s the one. Despite this, the singer is still in love with the former partner and doesn’t know what to do: “He loves me but I love you / I’m caught in a cath 22, don’t know / What I’m gonna do which ever way I turn I lose.”
The chorus is a lamentation of the confusion and pain that comes with being in love with two people at the same time: “I am so confused / What am I to do / He’s in love with me / I’m in love with you / Tell me what am I gonna do / I am so confused / What am I to do this is killing me tearing me in two / He loves me but I love you.” The singer is begging for answers, searching for a way out of the dilemma that is tearing her apart.
With its emotionally authentic lyrics and catchy tune, “So Confused” has become a fan favorite and a beloved classic. The song highlights the delicate balance of love and desire and how easy it is to fall into the trap of nostalgia and longing for things that may no longer be achievable.
