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 mate
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
Me fall 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 mate
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
Me fall 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

(Hustle Gang Homie)
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'm
At the 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
Me fall 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 lyrics to Robin Thicke's hit song "Blurred Lines" have been interpreted in different ways by different people, with some considering it a celebration of sexual freedom and others labeling it a misogynistic piece of work. The song appears to be addressing a specific woman who is being stifled by a man who is trying to domesticate her. The singer is urging her to break free from her constraints and embrace her primal instincts, which he believes are her natural state. He claims that he can liberate her and that she doesn't need papers - a reference to a marriage certificate - to be with him.


The chorus, "I know you want it," has been criticized by some, who interpret it as the singer trying to coerce the woman into having sex with him. However, others argue that it's simply a song about sexual attraction and flirting, and that the singer is simply expressing his desire for this woman. The lyrics "I hate these blurred lines" seem to be acknowledging the ambiguity of the situation, and the fact that the singer and the woman are both struggling with their desires and feelings.

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
