I’ll frown, and be perverse, and say thee nay, 

So thou wilt woo;

• If you're into me, just spill it honestly. But if you think I'm too easy to snag, I'll act all moody and play hard to get, Just so you'll, like, chase after me.

• If you do love me, say it wholeheartedly. And if you think I'm easy to get, that's no big deal to me. So go court me.
