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

Overall Meaning

The song "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke ft. T.I. was released in 2013, and it became a commercial success. However, it faced backlash for its problematic lyrics that objectify women and promote non-consensual behavior. The song opens with the line, "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." This line suggests that the singer's partner is not understanding what he's saying or reading from the same page, and it is possible that he is losing his ability to hear, see, or reason.


The chorus constantly repeats, "I know you want it," directed towards the woman the singer is targeting. This phrase is problematic because it implies that the singer is assuming the woman's desires, regardless of her actual thoughts or feelings. Additionally, the line "you're far from plastic" could be seen as a backhanded compliment that reinforces the idea that women's worth should be judged based on their physical appearance. Moreover, T.I.'s verse includes lines such as "I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two," which is a clear example of sexual harassment.


In short, the lyrics of "Blurred Lines" objectify women and promote non-consensual behavior. It reinforces harmful stereotypes about women's value being solely based on their physical appearance and perpetuates the notion that men can assume what women want without their consent.
