Nothin' like your last guy, he too square for you
He don't smack that ass and pull your hair for you (like that)
So I'm just watchin' (just watchin') and waitin' (and waitin')
For you to salute the true big pimpin'
Not many women can refuse this pimpin' (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'm a nice guy, but don't get confused, get pimpin' (everybody get up)

Shake your rump

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blurred Lines by Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke have generated controversy and criticism for the way they depict women. The lyrics suggest that the woman in question wants to engage in sexual activity, but may be hesitant or unsure.


The repeated line "I know you want it" has been criticized as perpetuating rape culture by implying that a woman's "no" does not really mean "no."


The lyrics also imply that the man is rescuing the woman from a controlling partner, with the lines "That man is not your maker, and that's why I'm gon' take you." This reinforces the idea that women need a man's protection and guidance, and that they cannot make their own choices.


The chorus of the song encourages everyone to get up and dance, a theme that is present throughout the entire song. It is an upbeat, catchy tune that became very popular upon its release.
