Tell me why you gotta look at me that way
You know what it does to me
So baby, what you tryna say?
Lately, all I want is you on top of me
You know where your hands should be
So baby, won't you come show me?
I got you, I got you dreamin'
You close your eyes and you're screamin'
Play with your mind for no reason
I know you love how I tease it
You know that I'm playin', so don't be mistaken
You already know what I'm thinkin', boy
Oh, why'd you have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you, ah
Why must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well
Just say goodnight and go
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just say goodnight and go
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just say goodnight and go
One of these days
You'll miss your train and come stay with me
(It's always say goodnight and go)
We'll have drinks and talk about things
And any excuse to stay awake with you
And you'd sleep here, and I'd sleep there
But then the heating may be down again
(At my convenience)
We'd be good, we'd be great together
Why'd you have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you, ah
Why must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well
Just say goodnight and go
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just say goodnight and go
(I know how you want it, baby, just like this
Know you're thinking' 'bout it, baby, just one kiss
While you're lookin' at 'em, baby, read my lips
I know what you want, but you can't have this)
Want to say goodnight
Want to say goodnight and go
Want to say goodnight
Baby, say goodnight and go
Want to say goodnight
Say goodnight and go
You know what it does to me
So baby, what you tryna say?
Lately, all I want is you on top of me
You know where your hands should be
So baby, won't you come show me?
I got you, I got you dreamin'
You close your eyes and you're screamin'
Play with your mind for no reason
I know you love how I tease it
You know that I'm playin', so don't be mistaken
You already know what I'm thinkin', boy
Oh, why'd you have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you, ah
Why must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well
Just say goodnight and go
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just say goodnight and go
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just say goodnight and go
One of these days
You'll miss your train and come stay with me

Want to say goodnight
Want to say goodnight and go
Want to say goodnight
Baby, say goodnight and go
Want to say goodnight
Say goodnight and go

i don't think the song is about a stalker, i think that's a hyperbole.
imogen's used a LOT of literary techniques in her other work allusions, similes, metaphors, haunting imagery, etc...
i think the stalker-like actions are being used to prove a point.
if you think about one sided relationships, where one person is clearly more committed than the other, you understand that it's not fair, and that it should probably end before things get worse.
now think about the epitome of a one sided relationship... someone who's being stalked, most of the time they have no idea the "relationship" even exists.
the point the song makes, i believe, is that everyone understands that stalking is an unhealthy behavior that has to be controlled or eliminated, but there are MILLIONS of people all over the world, in one sided relationships, with people who don't "give what they get".
by using the hyperbole i feel like she's shining a light on the detrimental nature of such relationships,
saying bluntly that if this is the case, no matter how well matched you are for each other, the best course of action is to just, "say goodnight and go".
you know, ithink that your synopsis was accurate. i thought it was her saying he was saying goodnight and going, but its almost like shes talking to herself and advising both us and herself as she was at that time to just leave the situation before you get hurt.
