¹ Last-name with a proper suffix (ie, Watanabe-san) is the polite way to refer to people you don’t know very well. “Kureru” attached to a verb implies it’s a favor/something appreciated, so I’m guessing the singer takes her crush calling her this way as the polite/gentleman-ish thing to do instead of something standoffish.
