Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
The lyrics to TI/Pharrell Williams's song Blurred Lines have been subjected to controversy since the song's debut in 2013. It seems to be a sensual call-and-response between a male and female partner, but it's been interpreted by some as perpetuating non-consensual attitudes toward sex. The repeated phrase, "I know you want it," is believed to be a blatant message of coercion in the song. In contrast, defenders of the song argue the lyrics are about embracing one's sexuality and rejecting societal expectations of feminine propriety.
The chorus is the most controversial part of the song. The male partner is singing, "I know you want it," as the female partner replies, "But you're a good girl," which connotes that she is hesitant to engage in sexual activity. The male voice ignores this hesitation, making it seem like he's convincing her to participate in sex, despite her reluctance. The provocative lyrics and beats of the song got the attention of everyone, leading to a hit single and an internationally famous music video.

Hey, hey, hey
repeated greeting
If you can't hear, what I'm tryna say
If you cannot understand my message
If you can't read, from the same page
If we cannot agree on the same thing
Maybe I'm going deaf
I am losing my hearing ability
Maybe I'm going blind
I am losing my sight ability
Maybe I'm out of my mind
Perhaps I am crazy
OK, now he was close
He almost succeeded
Tried to domesticate you
Tried to change your natural behavior
But you're an animal
You are instinctive
Baby, it's in your nature
Your natural behavior
Just let me liberate you
Allow me to set you free
You don't need no papers
You don't need any legal documents
That man is not your mate
That person is not your partner
And that's why I'm gon' take you
That's why I am going to be with you
Good girl!
Slang to express admiration
I know you want it
I know you desire me
Can't let it get past me
I cannot let this opportunity go by
Me fall from plastic
I descend from the artificial
Talk about getting blasted
Discuss getting drunk
I hate these blurred lines!
I hate this confusion
The way you grab me
The way you touch me sexually
Must wanna get nasty
You want to get kinky
Go ahead, get at me
Come on, approach me
What do they make dreams for
Why are dreams created
When you got them jeans on
When you wear those jeans
What do we need steam for
Why do we need steam
You the hottest bitch in this place!
You are the most beautiful person here
I feel so lucky
I am fortunate
You wanna hug me
You want to embrace me
What rhymes with hug me?
Rhyming word play
One thing I ask of you
I want one thing from you
Lemme be the one you bring that ass up to
Let me be the one you come to for sex
From Malibu to Paris, boo
From California to France
Had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you
I had a girlfriend, but she is not as attractive as you
So, hit me up when you passin' through
Contact me when you are in the area
I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two
I'll give you something large for sex
Swag on 'em even when you dress casual
Have style even when you wear casual clothes
I mean, it's almost unbearable
It's almost too much to handle
Honey you not there when I'm
My previous partner was never around
At the bar side let you have me by
At the bar, I will let you be with me
Nothin' like your last guy, he too square for you
I am not like your previous partner, he was too boring for you
He don't smack that ass and pull your hair for you
He did not perform aggressive sexual acts with you
So I'm just watchin' and waitin'
I am observing and waiting
For you to salute the truly pimpin'
For you to acknowledge a real pimp
Not many women can refuse this pimpin'
Most women accept this lifestyle
I'm a nice guy, but don't get confused, you git'n it!
I am a good person, but do not forget you are receiving sexual benefits
Shake your rump
Dance provocatively
Get down
Dance rigidly
Get up
Dance energetically
Do it like it hurt, like it hurt
Dance with intensity
What, you don't like work?
Don't you enjoy the effort?
Baby, can you breathe?
Asking if a sexual act is suffocating
I got this from Jamaica
Accolade to Jamaica's sexual prowess
It always works for me
It has always improved my sexual experiences
Dakota to Decatur
From the North to the South
No more pretending
No more fake behavior
Cause now your winning
Because now you are succeeding in your natural behavior
Here's our beginning
This is the start of our relationship
Everybody get up
Invitation for everyone to stand up

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
