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 of Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke, featuring Pharrell Williams and T.I., have garnered a lot of criticism since their release in 2013. The song has been accused of promoting misogyny and rape culture due to its suggestive lyrics and video. The opening lines suggest that if someone cannot comprehend the message being conveyed or read from the same page, then maybe they are going deaf or blind, or even out of their minds. This implies that there is one message, and only one message, regardless of the situation or context.


The song explicitly discusses the pursuit of a woman who is being "domesticated" by her partner, and liberating her from a relationship that is deemed inappropriate. The chorus uses the phrase "I know you want it" to refer to the woman's supposed desire for a sexual encounter. This phrase has been accused of promoting rape culture and normalizing the notion that women secretly desire to be taken advantage of sexually. The line "you're a good girl" implies that there is a certain way that a woman should behave, and if she deviates from this, she is not good.


Furthermore, the lyrics objectify the woman by describing her in animalistic terms and reducing her to her physical attributes. The phrase "you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature" suggests that women are inherently wild and unable to be tamed. Overall, the lyrics of Blurred Lines have been considered by many as controversial and offensive.

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
