Everybody get up
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey (ah)
Hey, hey, hey (woo)
Turn me up

Maybe I'm going deaf (hey, hey, hey)
Maybe I'm going blind (hey, hey, hey)
Maybe I'm out of my mind (hey, hey, hey)
Everybody get up
Okay, now he was close
Tried to domesticate you
But you're an animal
Baby, it's in your nature (meow)
Just let me liberate you (hey, hey, hey)
You don't need no papers (hey, hey, hey)
That man is not your maker (hey, hey, hey)
And that's why I'm gon' take you (everybody get up)
Good girl
I know you want it (hey)
I know you want it
I know you want it
You're a good girl (oh yeah)
Can't let it get past me (oh yeah)
You're far from plastic (alright)
Talkin' about getting blasted
I hate these blurred lines
I know you want it (hey)
I know you want it (oh, oh, yeah yeah)
I know you want it
But you're a good girl (hey)
The way you grab me
Must wanna get nasty (hey, hey, hey)
Go ahead, get at me
Everybody get up (come on)
What do they make dreams for?
When you got them jeans on? (Why?)
What do we need steam for?
You the hottest bitch in this place
I feel so lucky (hey, hey, hey)
You wanna hug me (hey, hey, hey)
What rhymes with hug me? (Hey, hey, hey)

Must wanna get nasty (lego) (ay say Rob)
Go ahead, get at me (let me holla at 'em real quick)
One thing I ask of you (okay)
Let me be the one you back that ass up to (come on)
Go from Malibu to Paris, boo (yeah)
Had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you (uh-uh, ey)
So, hit me up when you passin' through
I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two
Swag on 'em even when you dress casual (oh, oh, oh)
I mean, it's almost unbearable (ey, ey, ey, ey) (everybody get up)
In a hundred years not dare would I
Pull a Pharcyde, let you pass me by (uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh)
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
Get down
Get up
Do it like it hurt
Like it hurt
What, you don't like work?
Hey (everybody get up)
Baby, can you breathe?
I got this from Jamaica
It always works for me
Dakota to Decatur (uh huh)
No more pretending (hey, hey, hey) (uh huh)
'Cause now your winning (hey, hey, hey) (uh huh)
Here's our beginning (hey, hey, hey) (uh huh) (uh)

The lyrics of this song by Robin Thicke feat. Pharrell and T.I. titled "Blurred Lines" have been a subject of controversy due to their seemingly misogynistic portrayal of women. The "blurred lines" in question refer to the lines between consensual and non-consensual sex, with the chorus "I know you want it" suggesting that women are not capable of making their own choices.
The song starts with a recognition that the singer's message may not be clear to some listeners, but that the fault may not be entirely theirs. The lyrics then shift to describing a woman who is initially characterized as an "animal" that the man tries to tame. However, the song quickly moves to a message of "liberation" for the woman, with the man claiming he will "take" her and that she does not need "papers" to be with him. The chorus repeats multiple times before T.I. raps about his own sexual prowess.
The lyrics of "Blurred Lines" have faced criticism for promoting rape culture and misogyny, and the video was also criticized for objectifying women. The controversy led to the song being banned from some radio stations and removed from certain playlists. However, the popularity of the song cannot be denied, as it became the best-selling single of 2013 in the UK and hit number one on charts worldwide.

OK, now he was close
The previous guy tried to tame you
Tried to domesticate you
Tried to make you a house pet, tame and submissive
But you're an animal
You're wild by nature
Baby, it's in your nature
Your wildness is a natural part of you
Just let me liberate you
Let me set you free

Asking a rhetorical question
One thing I ask of you
One thing I request
Lemme be the one you bring that ass up to
Let me be the one you dance provocatively with
From Malibu to Paris, boo
From California to France, baby
Had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you
I had a girlfriend, but she's not as attractive as you
So, hit me up when you passin' through
Contact me when you're in the area
I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two
I'll give you a huge penis

It's almost too much to handle
Honey you not there when I
Sweetheart, you're not there when I'm
Pull up bar side let you have me by
Approach you at a bar and let you have sex with me
Nothin' like your last guy, he too square for you
I'm different from your previous partner, he's too boring for you
He don't smack that ass and pull your hair for you
He doesn't spank you or pull your hair during sex
So I'm just watchin' and waitin'
So I'm just observing and waiting
For you to salute the truly pimpin'
For you to acknowledge and accept a real pimp
Not many women can refuse this pimpin'
Few women can resist a pimp like me
I'm a nice guy, but don't get confused, you git'n it!
I'm a kind person, but don't be mistaken, you're getting sex from me
Shake your rump
Move your butt
Get down
Start dancing
Get up
Stand up
Do it like it hurt, like it hurt
Dance as if it were painful but enjoyable
What, you don't like work?
Asking a rhetorical question
Baby, can you breathe?

I got this product from Jamaica
It always works for me
It always has an effect on me

Referring to cities in North and South Dakota and Illinois
No more pretending

Cause now your winning
Because you're succeeding now
Here's our beginning
This is the start of our relationship
I always wanted a
I've always wanted
Good girl!
A woman who is well-behaved and modest
Everybody get up
Encouraging everyone to stand up
