Blurred Lines
T.I./Pharrell Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey
Just a meaningless introduction.

If you can't hear, what I'm tryna say
If you don't understand my words and what I'm expressing.

If you can't read, from the same page
If we don't share the same understanding or perspective.

Maybe I'm going deaf
Perhaps I'm losing my hearing or awareness.

Maybe I'm going blind
Perhaps I'm losing my sight or clarity of vision.

Maybe I'm out of my mind
Perhaps I'm insane or irrational.

OK, now he was close
Referring to the man who tried to domesticate the woman.

Tried to domesticate you
He attempted to make you more docile or obedient to his wishes.

But you're an animal
You're not meant to be tamed or controlled, but wild and free.

Baby, it's in your nature
This is your innate essence, it cannot be changed or modified.

Just let me liberate you
I can free you from those constrictions or limitations.

You don't need no papers
You don't need any formal documents or agreements to be free.

That man is not your mate
That man is not the appropriate or suitable partner for you.

And that's why I'm gon' take you
I will take you away from him and show you a better life.

Good girl!
A sardonic way of referring to a woman for her obedience to social norms.

I know you want it
I believe that you desire and crave my attention and affection.

Can't let it get past me
I must make sure that I don't miss this opportunity.

Me fall from plastic
Somehow he fell and lost control over a plastic or superficial exterior.

Talk about getting blasted
Implies the use of drugs or alcohol to achieve a certain state of mind or oblivion.

I hate these blurred lines!
I despise these unclear boundaries and limits in our relationship/friendship.

The way you grab me
Your physical touch and contact insinuate that you're sexually attracted to me.

Must wanna get nasty
You must desire something more perverse or explicit.

Go ahead, get at me
Just approach me directly and make your intentions clear.

What do they make dreams for
What's the point of dreaming or fantasizing when reality can offer so much more?

When you got them jeans on
Referring to a woman's physical attributes and the way they're showcased in tight jeans.

What do we need steam for
What's the purpose of a steamy or sensual environment when we're already turned on?

You the hottest bitch in this place!
A derogatory, objectifying way of complimenting a woman's looks or sex appeal.

I feel so lucky
I'm so fortunate to have caught your attention or interest.

You wanna hug me
You desire physical contact with me.

What rhymes with hug me?
A crude, suggestive way of insinuating that they should do more than hug.

One thing I ask of you
Asking for a woman's attention and agreement to what follows.

Lemme be the one you bring that ass up to
Asks to be the one she goes to for sexual pleasure.

From Malibu to Paris, boo
Willing to provide her with worldly experiences and pleasures.

Had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you
He had a girlfriend before, but he finds her inferior compared to the current woman he's pursuing.

So, hit me up when you passin' through
If you happen to be in my area or my life again, contact me.

I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two
A crude, explicit way of promising sexual satisfaction.

Swag on 'em even when you dress casual
Even in casual attire, she exudes confidence and style.

I mean, it's almost unbearable
He finds it nearly impossible to resist her charm and allure.

Honey you not there when I'm
He implies she's never available when he's asking for her.

At the bar side let you have me by
He's suggesting that he'll be hers for the taking at the bar.

Nothin' like your last guy, he too square for you
Comparing himself to her previous partner, he describes himself as more daring or exciting.

He don't smack that ass and pull your hair for you
He insinuates that her ex is not sexually adventurous or satisfying her desires.

So I'm just watchin' and waitin'
He's patiently observing her and waiting for his opportunity to make a move.

For you to salute the truly pimpin'
Waiting for her to acknowledge and respond to his fanciful, exaggerated sense of power.

Not many women can refuse this pimpin'
He's implying that his confidence and swagger are irresistible to most women.

I'm a nice guy, but don't get confused, you git'n it!
He's suggesting that he's a pleasant person but also capable of rougher or more aggressive behavior in bed.

Shake your rump
A command for her to dance and move her body sexually.

Get down
He's telling her to lower her body closer to the ground, in a sexually suggestive manner.

Get up
He's telling her to confidently rise and assert herself, sexually.

Do it like it hurt, like it hurt
He's implying that he wants her to act like she's in pain or discomfort, as it might arouse him.

What, you don't like work?
An incredulous question asked in response to her reluctance or hesitancy to some of his sexual requests.

Baby, can you breathe?
He's asking if she's okay, suggesting that he may be engaging in rough, intense sex with her.

I got this from Jamaica
He's implying that he got his sexual prowess and techniques from a tropical, exotic land.

It always works for me
He's suggesting that his sexual techniques have a high success rate with women.

Dakota to Decatur
He'll use his sexual prowess wherever he goes, no matter where he is in the world.

No more pretending
He no longer wants to pretend or play games with her, but wants to act on his sexual desires and fantasies.

Cause now your winning
Because she's responding positively to his advances and sexual energy.

Here's our beginning
This is the start of their sexual relationship or encounter.

Everybody get up
A call to action to encourage everyone to move, dance, or engage in some activity together.

Hey, hey, hey
A meaningless closing to the song.
