[Verse 1] I took her out to dinner and I bought a fancy wine I thought for sure by midnight that this woman would be mine She’s leaning in so closely and she’s whispering in my ear About the pretty waitress and the way she’s standing near I’m checking out the check and then I’m checking out her smile But she’s been looking elsewhere for a very long-ass while She’s got me in a tizzy, she’s got me in a daze Just a lonely fellow lost inside her complicated maze [Chorus] [Crescendo] She’s a world-class-level teaser, but I’m never gonna please her And she’s dancing 'round the kitchen, like a woman on a mission. We’re tangled in the sheets, the mood is getting higher And she’s really working harder to make me to perspire. She’s playing hard to get, yeah she’s fueling up the fire She’s looking for a reason to thwart my man desire. [Verse 2] We’re back at her apartment and she’s putting on a show She’s got the candles lit and got the music turned down low I try to close the distance but she’s spinning out of reach Talking 'bout a summer that she spent at Lilith Beach She says I’m such a sweetheart and she loves my manly scent But she’d rather spend the evening in a different kind of tent She’s winking at me boldly while she’s pouring out more gin But I’m the only person here who’s never gonna win [Chorus] She’s a world-class-level teaser, but I’m never gonna please her And she’s dancing 'round the kitchen, like a woman on a mission. We’re tangled in the sheets, the mood is getting higher And she’s really working harder to make me to perspire. She’s playing hard to get, yeah she’s fueling up the fire She’s looking for a reason to thwart my man desire. [Bridge] Maybe I should change my look or maybe grow my hair Maybe if I had some curves she’d actually want me there I’m holding out my hand but she is looking past the glove To a different kind of circle and a different kind of love It’s a comedy of errors and a tragedy of fate Trying to be the guy to get a golden ticket gate [Chorus] [Crescendo] She’s a world-class-level teaser, but I’m never gonna please her And she’s dancing 'round the kitchen, like a woman on a mission. We’re tangled in the sheets, the mood is getting higher And she’s really working harder to make me to perspire. She’s playing hard to get, yeah she’s fueling up the fire She’s looking for a reason to thwart my man desire. [Outro] [Orchestra thins out back to the emotive piano. A final touch of sophisticated irony.] Yeah she’s fueling up the fire [Refrain] Thwart my man desire I’m just standing in the kitchen While she’s on a mission [Refrain] Never gonna please her What a teaser
