Blurred Lines
- robin thicke ft. t.i. & pharrell Lyrics

Everybody get up
Come on, everyone stand up and pay attention

Hey, hey, hey
An upbeat exclamation to get people excited

Turn me up
Make the music louder so I can be heard

If you can't hear, what I'm tryna say (hey girl, come here)
If you can't understand my words, come closer and listen

If you can't read, from the same page
If we're not on the same wavelength or don't have the same perspective, it might be hard to communicate

Maybe I'm going deaf (hey, hey, hey)
Maybe I can't hear myself think or need help to be heard

Maybe I'm going blind (hey, hey, hey)
Maybe I can't see clearly or can't perceive the situation accurately

Maybe I'm out of my mind (hey, hey, hey)
Maybe I'm acting irrationally or not thinking straight

Okay, now he was close
Talking about someone who tried to control or tame another person

Tried to domesticate you
This person attempted to make you more like a typical house pet that is small and controllable

But you're an animal
You are a wild and free creature who cannot be tamed or trained

Baby, it's in your nature (meow)
Being wild and free is part of who you are, it's in your natural character or DNA

Just let me liberate you (hey, hey, hey)
Let me help you break free and live more true to your nature

You don't need no papers (hey, hey, hey)
You don't need official documents or permission to be free and true to yourself

That man is not your maker (hey, hey, hey)
The person who tried to control you is not your creator, they don't have the power to dominate you

And that's why I'm gon' take you (everybody get up)
I'm going to help you break free and live your best life

Good girl
A term used to describe someone who follows societal norms or regulations

I know you want it (hey)
I know you secretly desire to be free and live your own life

You're a good girl (oh yeah)
You conform to societal norms and regulations, which is good according to some people

Can't let it get past me (oh yeah)
I can't let this opportunity slip by, I need to take action

You're far from plastic (alright)
You have real value and substance as a person

Talkin' about getting blasted
Discussing getting intoxicated or losing control

I hate these blurred lines
I'm frustrated by the unclear or undefined boundaries of this situation

But you're a good girl (hey)
You conform to societal norms and regulations, which is good according to some people

The way you grab me
The way you touch me or hold me suggests you want to be close or intimate

Must wanna get nasty (hey, hey, hey)
You must be interested in getting intimate or sexual

Go ahead, get at me
Feel free to approach me and initiate physical contact

What do they make dreams for?
Why do we dream or imagine things that are not necessarily realistic or attainable?

When you got them jeans on? (Why?)
Why dream about anything else when you have such an attractive appearance? You're already perfect

What do we need steam for?
Why bother with any embellishments or enhancements when you already look amazing?

You the hottest bitch in this place
You are the most attractive and desirable person in this room

I feel so lucky (hey, hey, hey)
I feel fortunate to be close to you and have your attention

You wanna hug me (hey, hey, hey)
You want to embrace me and be physically close

What rhymes with hug me? (Hey, hey, hey)
I'm trying to make a flirtatious or suggestive comment to get your attention

Baby, it's in your nature (uh huh)
Being wild and free is part of who you are, it's in your natural character or DNA

Just let me liberate you (uh huh)
Let me help you break free and live more true to your nature

You don't need no papers (uh huh)
You don't need official documents or permission to be free and true to yourself

That man is not your maker (uh huh)
The person who tried to control you is not your creator, they don't have the power to dominate you

You're a good girl
You conform to societal norms and regulations, which is good according to some people

Can't let it get past me (hey, hey)
I can't let this opportunity slip by, I need to take action

You're far from plastic (oh)
You have real value and substance as a person

Talkin' about getting blasted (everybody get up)
Discussing getting intoxicated or losing control

I know you want it
I know you secretly desire to be free and live your own life

The way you grab me (Hustle Gang, homie)
The way you touch me or hold me suggests you want to be close or intimate, a reference to the featured artists

Must wanna get nasty (lego) (ay say Rob)
You must be interested in getting intimate or sexual, a nod to the featured artists' catchphrases

Go ahead, get at me (let me holla at 'em real quick)
Feel free to approach me and initiate physical contact, a request to speak to someone more directly

One thing I ask of you (okay)
I have a simple request for you

Let me be the one you back that ass up to (come on)
Let me be the person you get intimate or close with

Go from Malibu to Paris, boo (yeah)
Let me take you on a journey from the California coast to the city of love

Had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you (uh-uh, ey)
I was with another woman before, but she wasn't as attractive or desirable as you

So, hit me up when you passin' through
Contact me when you're in the area or passing by

I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two
I'll provide you with an experience so intense and pleasurable, it will leave you overwhelmed

Swag on 'em even when you dress casual (oh, oh, oh)
Even when you're dressed casually, you exude an air of confidence and style

I mean, it's almost unbearable (ey, ey, ey, ey)
Your attractiveness and appeal are almost too much to handle

In a hundred years not dare would I
I would never be so foolish as to

Pull a Pharcyde, let you pass me by (uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh)
Miss the opportunity to be with you and let you move on without me

Nothin' like your last guy, he too square for you
No one can compare to the previous person you were with, they were too boring or conventional for you

He don't smack that ass and pull your hair for you (like that)
He doesn't treat you with the same level of intensity and dominance that I can offer

So I'm just watchin' (just watchin') and waitin' (and waitin')
I'm keeping an eye on you and waiting for my chance

For you to salute the true big pimpin'
For you to recognize my greatness and ability to dominate

Not many women can refuse this pimpin' (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Few women can resist my charm or dominance

I'm a nice guy, but don't get confused, get pimpin' (everybody get up)
I may seem like a good person, but I can also be a dominant and controlling force

Shake your rump
Move your hips or buttocks in a provocative manner

Get down
Dance in a suggestive or sexual way

Get up
Stand up and keep dancing

Do it like it hurt
Dance or move in a way that suggests you're trying to impress or seduce someone

Like it hurt
Do it with intensity or passion, like you're really feeling something

What, you don't like work?
Teasing someone for not wanting to engage in physical activity or exertion

Baby, can you breathe?
Asking someone if they're ok or feeling overwhelmed in the moment

I got this from Jamaica
Telling a story or sharing where something came from, in this case, likely a Jamaican dance or movement

It always works for me
The dance or movement has been successful or effective in the past

Dakota to Decatur (uh huh)
Referencing two different places, possibly to suggest a journey or range of influence

No more pretending (hey, hey, hey) (uh huh)
No more trying to be something or someone you're not

'Cause now your winning (hey, hey, hey) (uh huh)
Because now you're succeeding or achieving your goals

Here's our beginning (hey, hey, hey) (uh huh) (uh)
This is just the start of something exciting and new for us

I always wanted a
I have a long-standing desire or fantasy

You're good girl, oh yeah-yeah (everybody get up)
You conform to societal norms and regulations, which is good according to some people

Talk about getting blasted
Discussing getting intoxicated or losing control

I hate these blurred lines (everybody get up)
I'm frustrated by the unclear or undefined boundaries of this situation

I know you want it (oh oh, yeah yeah)
I know you secretly desire to be free and live your own life

But you're a good girl (hey, hey)
You conform to societal norms and regulations, which is good according to some people

(Hey, hey, hey)
An upbeat exclamation to get people excited
