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

    I think this song is about the unexpected progression of a friendship that has unexpectedly turned into something more than casual. And the idea of giving up a friend on the chance of pursuing a relationship can be tricky. If the relationship fails you lose both friend and lover. A situation one wouldn't be put in, if the friend just stayed a friend. But the chance its the relationship you have always wanted makes one take a leap of faith.
