[Cold open — dry melodic vocal; two sharp synth hits] Spoiler alert [Short pause] Neither do I [Two-bar pickup — elastic funk bass, clipped guitar, tight kick] [Verse 1 — playful, precise; leave space between phrases] You tell the room I never dance Before I’ve even taken off my coat I smile the way I always do Then stop before you finish your joke You point me to the quiet end I leave my bag beside a friend The drummer counts, I miss the start And go in anyway [Pre-Chorus — melody climbs; bass withdraws] No little speech No grand reveal I haven’t worked out How this is supposed to feel [Chorus — bright, fully sung; strong melodic rise] Spoiler alert I might surprise you tonight You don’t know the ending Neither do I I had it rehearsed Then I forgot every line You don’t know the ending Neither do I [Post-Chorus — sharp syncopation; bass answers] Wait—watch I changed my mind Click—cut Leave that behind Spoiler alert Neither do I [Dance break — eight bars; signature two-note synth response, rubbery bass, one sudden half-beat freeze] [Verse 2 — half-sung rhythmic delivery; no aggressive rap] You ask me when I got like this Like there’s a date you might have missed Last week I almost cut my hair Then kept it long because I liked it I don’t need a different face A new name or a clean escape I’m still the girl who checks the route Tonight I took the long way round [Pre-Chorus — rising melody; more warmth] Same little nerves Same racing pulse This time I let them Come along instead of stop us [Chorus — fuller groove; selective same-voice harmonies] Spoiler alert I might surprise you tonight You don’t know the ending Neither do I I had it rehearsed Then I forgot every line You don’t know the ending Neither do I [Post-Chorus — bass and claps forward] Wait—watch I changed my mind Click—cut Leave that behind Spoiler alert Neither do I [Bridge — close sincere singing; electric piano and soft bass] I used to tell the funny version Before you’d heard the part that hurt If I could make you laugh about it You wouldn’t have to find the words [Four-bar build — drums return gradually] Tonight I leave a little silence I let you see me find my nerve [One-beat silence] [Final Chorus — brighter harmony; confident without belting] Spoiler alert I might surprise me tonight I don’t know the ending For once, that’s all right I had it rehearsed Then I forgot every line You don’t know the ending Neither do I [Final dance break — eight bars; octave bass variation, new upper synth counter-riff] Wait—watch I changed my mind Click—cut Leave that behind [Outro — dry, smiling vocal; music briefly stops] Was that the plan? [Two-note synth answer] It is now [Clean stop]
