Blurred Lines Lyrics

[Verse 3: T.I.]
Hustle Gang, homie
Let go
Ay, say Rob, let me holla at 'em real quick
One thing I ask of you
Let me be the one you back that ass up to (Come on)
Go from Malibu to Paris, boo (Yeah)
Had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you
So, hit me up when you pass 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 (Everybody get up)
In a hundred years not dare would I
Pull a Pharcyde, let you pass me by

Nothin' like your last guy, he too square for you
He don't smack that ass and pull your hair like that
So I'm just watchin' and waitin'
For you to salute the true big pimpin' (Okay)
Not many women can refuse this pimpin'
I'm a nice guy, but don't get it confused, get pimpin' (Everybody get up)

[Breakdown: Robin Thicke]
Shake your rump
Get down, get up-a
Do it like it hurt, like it hurt
What, you don't like work?

Hey (Everybody get up)

[Verse 4: Robin Thicke]
Baby, can you breathe?
I got this from Jamaica
It always works for me
Dakota to Decatur (Uh-huh)

No more pretending (Hey, hey, hey) (Uh-huh)
'Cause now you're winning (Hey, hey, hey) (Uh-huh)
Here's our beginning (Hey, hey, hey) (Uh-huh)
I always wanted a

[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
You're a good girl (Everybody get up)
I know you want it (Hey)
I know you want it
I know you want it

You're a good girl
Can't let it get past me (Oh yeah)

You're far from plastic (Alright)
Talkin' 'bout getting blasted

I hate these blurred lines (Everybody get up)
I know you want it (Hey)
I know you want it (Oh yeah)
I know you want it

But you're a good girl
The way you grab me
Must wanna get nasty (Hey)
Go ahead, get at me


[Outro: Pharrell Williams & Robin Thicke]
Everybody get up
Everybody get up
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

About

Genius Annotation

With its lyrics talking of “blurred lines” between consenting and non-consent, this #1 hit was widely attacked for promoting rape culture. It was mostly written by Pharrell Williams, who denied that it was about sex – instead saying it was about being rejected.

In March 2015, a Los Angeles jury ruled that “Blurred Lines” infringed the copyright on Marvin Gaye’s 1977 hit, “Got to Give It Up”. Thicke and Williams were originally ordered to pay $7.3 million, but that was later cut to $5.3m.

During the trial, the juxtaposed bass lines of the two songs in question were played to Pharrell and he admitted, “It sounds like you’re playing the same thing.”

What did Robin Thicke say about "Blurred Lines"?
Genius Answer

I think for the most part, what [Chad Hugo and I] always tried to do was reverse-engineer the songs that did something to us emotionally and figuring out where the mechanism is in there. […] if we can build a building that doesn’t look the same but makes you feel the same way. I did that in “Blurred Lines” and got myself in trouble. […] you can’t copyright a feeling. […] And it hurt my feelings, because I would never take anything from anyone, and that really set me back.

Pharrell Williams reflects on the song’s copyright infringement case in an interview with Rick Rubin (November 2019)
