Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

If you can't hear, what I'm tryna say
If you can't read, from the same page
Maybe I'm going deaf
Maybe I'm going blind
Maybe I'm out of my mind

OK, now he was close
Tried to domesticate you
But you're an animal
Baby, it's in your nature
Just let me liberate you
You don't need no papers
That man is not your maker
And that's why I'm gon' take you

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're far from plastic
Talk about 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

What do they make dreams for?
When you got them jeans on?
What do we need steam for?
You the hottest bitch in this place!

I feel so lucky
You wanna hug me
What rhymes with hug me?
Hey!

OK, now he was close
Tried to domesticate you
But you're an animal
Baby, it's in your nature
Just let me liberate you
You don't need no papers
That man is not your maker
And that's why I'm gon' take you

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're far from plastic
Talk about 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 (Hustle Gang Homie)
Go ahead, get at me

One thing I ask of you
Lemme be the one you bring that ass up to
From Malibu to Paris, boo
Had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you
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
I mean, it's almost unbearable
Honey you not there when I
Pull up bar side let you have me by
Nothin' like your last guy, he too square for you
He don't smack that ass and pull your hair for you
So I'm just watchin' and waitin'
For you to salute the truly pimpin'
Not many women can refuse this pimpin'
I'm a nice guy, but don't get confused, you git'n it!

Shake your rump
Get down
Get up
Do it like it hurt, like it hurt
What, you don't like work?
Hey!

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

No more pretending
Cause now your winning
Here's our beginning
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're far from plastic
Talk about 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





Everybody get up
Everybody get up

Overall Meaning

The song "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke featuring TI and Pharrell has stirred up a lot of controversy due to its explicit lyrics and suggestive music video. The song has been criticized for promoting rape culture and objectifying women.


The lyrics suggest that the woman the singer is addressing wants it but is conflicted due to societal pressure to be a "good girl." The lines "Maybe I'm going deaf, maybe I'm going blind, maybe I'm out of my mind" suggest that the singer is questioning his own sanity for wanting to pursue this woman, despite her initial reluctance. The repeated line "I know you want it" adds to the pressure placed on the woman.


The chorus "I hate these blurred lines" could be interpreted as the singer acknowledging that the situation is morally questionable, but ultimately he chooses to pursue the woman anyway.


Overall, the song can be seen as problematic in its portrayal of consent and perpetuating gender stereotypes. It's important to consider the potential influence of these messages on younger audiences who may not have the tools to fully understand and navigate complex dynamics in relationships.

I've always desired

Actually Pharrel's first hit was on strippers and it looked very sleezy especially at the non censored version of the song. כ-28,600 תוצאות
