[Intro] (Music: Rapid-fire syncopated handclaps and heavy rhythmic knee slaps begin. A bright acoustic guitar enters with a fast, bouncy strumming pattern.) (Vocals: Two-part harmony—"Hey-hey-hey! Oh-ho-ho!") [Verse 1] (Lead: Intimate, airy male vocal) (Harmonies: Close-knit duo harmony on the second half of each line) You laugh with him too long at the bar by the wall, I’m pretending I’m cool... but I feel it all! (Music: Wooden block percussion hit) You lean in just enough to make my hands shake, Then you look my way like you know I’ll break! [Pre-Chorus] (Music: Rhythm builds with a stomping backbeat and a melodic, rolling bassline.) You do it on purpose, yeah, I see the game, One little smile and I’m saying your name! You know what you do when you wear that grin, I’m trying to stand still... but I’m pulled back in! (Vocals: Group shout—"WHOA!") [Chorus] (Music: Full organic percussion—handclaps, stomps, and a playful xylophone accent. High-energy backyard jam feel.) (Vocals: Enthusiastic duo harmonies) Don’t tease me! (Backing: Don't tease me!) Don’t tease me! (Backing: Don't tease me!) You know I want you bad! Don’t tease me! (Backing: Don't tease me!) Don’t tease me! (Backing: Don't tease me!) You know it drives me mad! You flirt with fire, then come right back, Don’t tease me... if you love me like that! [Verse 2] (Music: Found-object percussion textures—sounds like hitting a suitcase or a tabletop.) He talks too close and I bite my tongue, You let him think he’s the chosen one! (Music: Tambourine jingle) Then you catch my stare and you bite your lip, Like you’re daring me to call your bluff! [Pre-Chorus] (Vocals: Lead and backing vocals in counterpoint) (Lead: I hate that I want this...) (Backing: Hate that I care!) (Lead: I see that spark...) (Backing: Every time you’re there!) You say “calm down” like it’s just for show, But your eyes say more than you let me know! [Chorus] (Music: Peak celebratory energy. Stomping and clapping intensified.) Don’t tease me! Don’t tease me! You know I want you bad! Don’t tease me! Don’t tease me! You know it drives me mad! You flirt with fire, then come right back, Don’t tease me... if you love me like that! [Bridge] (Music: Rhythmic breakdown. Acoustic guitar drops to a simple percussive tap. Voices are intimate and close.) If you want me near, then stop that game, I’m not made of steel... I’m still the same! You love to test me, I know you do, But one more smile... (Music: Sudden drum roll and crash) ...And I’m gone on you! [Chorus] (Music: Maximum volume. Sun-drenched and spirited.) Don’t tease me! Don’t tease me! You know I want you bad! Don’t tease me! Don’t tease me! You know it drives me mad! You flirt with fire, then come right back, Don’t tease me... if you love me like that! [Outro] (Music: Rhythmic stomping and handclaps continue, fading slowly.) (Vocals: Playful call-and-response) Yeah, you love me! (I know that’s true!) So why you got me... (Chasing you?) (Music: Final sharp handclap and a single acoustic guitar pluck.) [End]
