The woman in the song dumps her drink on the narrators head, runs away from their table for supposed phone calls and bathroom breaks, and wrinkles her nose up. The narrator sees this as a ‘taunt’, the same way a lot of men think rejections are just women playing ‘hard to get’. The narrator also thinks that she’s lying about staying away from catcalls, the way a lot of men view catcalling as an enjoyable compliment.
I think he thinks she’s insecure when really she’s just afraid of him.
