Asher Roth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus:]
I know you want it
You're a good girl
Can't let it get past me
You far from plastic
Talkin bout getting blasted
I hate these blurred lines
I know you want it
I know you want it
I know you want it
But you're a good girl
The way you grab me
Must wanna get nasty
Go ahead, get at me

[Verse:]
Come on girl, why you do me this way?
I'll be good, and I can promise you I'll behave
And don't be rude, I like the way you grooving and sway
When you grooving and you movin the booty shake
And truly it's great
Tell me baby, where do you stay?
Oh you wanna get a room? You know I really relate
I said we get it unless it's cool, we gon call it a day
Or we can go up to my room and play how good do you taste
You like that hopin I bite back
While you play games I be skippin the side class
When you change lanes and you wishin it might crash
You runnin red lights like you know that ain't right Ash
For show I be keepin it lowkey
But you me giggling and sendin them og's
Go and give a little, can you give me some more please?
Them hoes always trippin, all the homies is like preach!
I picture you in a slow breeze
Hair flowin, skirt going over them berk knees
Then you show us a dime and I'm like oh jeez
You so sweet, lookin like you starred in the O. C.
I think I'm startin to od
Lines that I'm seein woulda started to grow week
The boundaries are given me a startin to fold
This is the friend zone, no no somebody can pull me up

[Bridge:]
Baby, can you breathe?
I got this from Jamaica
It always works for me
Dakota to Decatur

No more pretending (hey hey hey)
'Cause now you winnin (hey hey hey)
Yes I be getting it (hey hey hey)

[Chorus:]
I always wanted a good girl
I know you want it
I know you want it
I know you want it
You're a good girl
Can't let it get past me
You far from plastic
Talkin bout getting blasted
I hate these blurred lines
I know you want it
I know you want it
I know you want it
But you're a good girl
The way you grab me




Must wanna get nasty
Go ahead, get at me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Asher Roth's "Blurred Lines" speak of a man's intentions and confusion regarding a woman's behavior towards him. In the chorus, he acknowledges that he knows the girl wants him but reminds her that she's a good girl, and he doesn't want to cross the line. The bridge, however, implies a different situation where the man and the woman are no longer pretending and have now given in to their desires. In the verse, the man describes his attraction to the girl's body and hints at their sexual activity while at the same time acknowledging that he wants to keep things quiet.


The song talks about consent and respect for boundaries, but it also showcases the common issue of blurred lines in relationships, where it is not always clear what the other person wants. While the chorus emphasizes the need to be mindful of the girl's character, the verse portrays a more aggressive tone, as the man tries to persuade her to have sex with him, leading to mixed signals.


Overall, "Blurred Lines" is a commentary on society's interpretation of what is acceptable behavior in a relationship, and how societal expectations and personal desires create situations that are not always clear cut.
