Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave

But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd meet shepherd

But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before

But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate

    From what I see in this song this is a woman trying to tease her love interest into higher desire. She is telling him/her that she is flattered but only wanted an object to crave. In other words saw him/her as nothing but a casual encounter. Now she goes on to say that he/she is uninvited to be with her but that this is an unfortunate slight. In other words she doesn't really want to put him/her off but she is letting him/her go to see if they will come back with even more passion. Notice, the music increases in passion after this is said. Now she tells him/her it must be strangely exciting to see the stoic squirm. Here she is referring to herself trying not to show interest but tearing herself up inside. Here is the interesting part where she refers to Shepard meet Shepard - two people that lead the flock. This is an alpha meets alpha situation. The union will be really hot when it happens. The music gets more passionate as the sexual tension between the two increases. She pushes him her away yet again by saying he/she is not allowed/invited an unfortunate slight. She is killing herself by doing this but knows the end result will be the craving she desires. Now the words to the next phrase speak for themselves. When she is showing uncharted territory - using herself as strong bait but still holding him off for even more passion. The music starts to go crazy as I can imagine the sexual tension gets to the point where it is impossible to bear. Then the music goes almost silent as if she is finally released. she tells him/her that she doesn't think him/her unworthy giving him hope but then she takes it away again when she says "I need a moment to deliberate." The music goes nuts as the passion must as well and then the song completes leaving it open ended and up to your imagination.
