Bad Behaviour
Unveiling Seductive Games: The Tuesdays' Tale of Temptation
Lyrics
The softly spoken come on over baby
The softly spoken invitation to come over, baby.
Lifts the lights on a speeding heart rate
It intensifies the emotions, raising the heart rate.
She's wise to it, enough to play the game
She is clever enough to understand and participate in the romantic game.
And if my glance falls short then I'll pick it up and give it again
If the initial contact is missed, it will be picked up and tried again.
And she called up my phone
She called to communicate that they shouldn't talk.
To let me know we shouldn't talk
Attempting to set boundaries by avoiding conversation.
The sounds she left at the tone
The sounds left at the tone indicate emotional weight.
Could make a grown man groan
The impact is strong enough to affect a grown man.
And those expectations
Refers to certain expectations in relationships.
They always seem too high
These expectations often feel unattainably high.
To meet the peak of the night
Struggling to meet the pinnacle of the night.
Alright
An acknowledgment or acceptance of the situation.
And it's bad behaviour
Labeling the observed actions as bad behavior.
Yeah it's bad behaviour
Reiterating the existence of bad behavior.
Tapping out you pulse trying to interrogate you
Describing an attempt to decipher or understand someone's pulse.
And your bad behaviour
Emphasizing the presence of bad behavior.
The softly spoken it's all over baby
Softly spoken words signaling the end of the situation.
Lowers the curtain on a certain uncertainty
Closing the curtain on uncertainty.
I'm wise to it, too wise to fall again
Despite awareness, the desire for an encore persists.
But the thought of an encore is keeping me in suspense
The anticipation of a repeat keeps the person in suspense.
And she called up my phone
Another call indicating a passage of time.
To tell me it's been long
Notification that a considerable time has passed.
I said 'you've had me blocked'
Ignoring being blocked, expressing frustration.
But that got ignored
The fact of being ignored.
She said see ya sometime
An informal farewell indicating a future meeting.
And then she rang off
Ending the call abruptly.
And in the heat of the night
Acting impulsively, calling back in the heat of the moment.
I rang right behind
Persistence in pursuing the relationship.
And it's bad behaviour
Reiteration of the presence of bad behavior.
Yeah it's bad behaviour
Confirming the existence of bad behavior.
Tapping out you pulse trying to interrogate you
Continuing the theme of deciphering and understanding.
And your bad behaviour
Emphasizing the ongoing presence of bad behavior.
And she said sit there for a minute
Delaying an explicit response, keeping the other person in anticipation.
I'll be back and when I am I can be more explicit
A promise of more direct communication in the future.
And I'll be staring at her digits
Examining the time elapsed before making contact.
Trying to figure out if it's been long enough to ring it
Contemplating when it's appropriate to initiate contact.
And it's her eyes that always did it
The impact of her eyes in influencing actions and decisions.
Constantly surprised about the words that they can transmit
A constant surprise at the power of her words.
So I said do us all a favour
Suggesting a solution to avoid further issues.
Look the other way at me and hang up your behaviour
Encouraging the other person to redirect attention and change their behavior.
