Lyrics
Like anyone would be
Expressing the universal feeling of being flattered by attention.
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Acknowledging the fascination someone has with the speaker.
Like any hot-blooded woman
Describing herself as a passionate, normal woman.
I have simply wanted an object to crave
Admitting a desire for something to desire passionately.
But you, you're not allowed
Addressing the person, emphasizing their lack of permission or acceptance.
You're uninvited an unfortunate slight
Stating that the person is not welcome, describing it as an unfortunate insult.
Must be strangely exciting
Reflecting on the excitement of witnessing a composed person become uncomfortable.
To watch the stoic squirm
Imagining the satisfaction of seeing someone unemotional react emotionally.
Must be somewhat heartening
Finding joy in the vulnerability of a leader or guide.
To watch shepherd need shepherd
Highlighting the irony of a shepherd needing guidance themselves.
But you you're not allowed
Reiterating that the person is unwelcome, emphasizing the insult.
You're uninvited an unfortunate slight
Repeating the rejection and the unfortunate nature of it.
Like any uncharted territory
Comparing the speaker to unexplored territory, portraying herself as intriguing.
I must seem greatly intriguing
Expressing the fascination others may have in exploring the speaker's personality.
You speak of my love like
Noting that the person talks about the speaker's love as if they have experienced it.
You have experienced love like mine before
Rejecting the idea that the person has permission to be involved in the speaker's love.
But this is not allowed you're uninvited
Reiterating that the person is unwelcome due to the rejection of involvement.
An unfortunate slight
Emphasizing again that the person's presence is an unfortunate insult.
I don't think you unworthy
Expressing that the person is not considered unworthy but needs time for consideration.
I need a moment to deliberate
Indicating a need for a pause or reflection before making a decision regarding the person.
