Here's the actual lyrics:

"Blurred Lines"
(feat. T.I. & Pharrell Williams)

[Intro: Pharrell]
Everybody get up
Everybody get up
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1: Robin Thicke]
If you can't hear what I'm trying to 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
[Pharell:] Everybody get up

[Pre-chorus: Robin Thicke]
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
Hey, hey, hey
You don't need no papers
Hey, hey, hey
That man is not your maker

[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
And that's why I'm gon' take 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
You're far 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
[Pharell:] Everybody get up

[Verse 2: Robin Thicke]
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
Hey, hey, hey
You wanna hug me
Hey, hey, hey
What rhymes with hug me?
Hey, hey, hey

[Pre-chorus: Robin Thicke]
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
Hey, hey, hey
You don't need no papers
Hey, hey, hey
That man is not your maker
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
And that's why I'm gon' take 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
You're far from plastic
Talk about getting blasted
[Pharell:] Everybody get up
I hate these blurred lines
I know you want it
I hate them lines
I know you want it
I hate them lines
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

[Verse 3: T.I.]
One thing I ask of you
Let me be the one you back that ass to
Go, from Malibu, to Paris, boo
Yeah, I had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you
So hit me up when you passing through
I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two
Swag on, even when you dress casual
I mean it's almost unbearable
In a hundred years not dare, would I
Pull a Pharside let you pass me by
Nothing like your last guy, he too square for you
He don't smack that ass and pull your hair like that
So I just watch and wait for you to salute
But you didn't pick
Not many women can refuse this pimpin'
I'm a nice guy, but don't get it if you get with me

[Bridge: Robin Thicke]
Shake the vibe, get down, get up
Do it like it hurt, like it hurt
What you don't like work?

[Pre-chorus: 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
Cause now you winning
Hey, hey, hey
Here's our beginning

[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
I always wanted a good girl
(Pharell: Everybody get up)
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
You're far from plastic
Talk about getting blasted
I hate these blurred lines
(Pharell: Everybody get up)
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

[Outro: Pharrell]
Everybody get up
Everybody get up
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

This sounds a lot like a guy trying to get a girl to leave the club with him. It doesn't sound like a guy FORCING THE GIRL TO DO ANYTHING

hahahahahahahahahaha

wow

Listen.

Words mean things. When you start saying every little annoying thing an asshole does is RAPEY you're diminishing the experiences of actual victims while simultaneously disarming your fellow women against mere assholes.

are you not reading the linked articles of actual victims showing cards of the things their rapists said to them that are near identical to the lyrics

If only we could do proper sociology with cards of things in pictures.

I have literally had someone tell me "you know you want it" about a cupcake. That person was my mom.

I'm not really trying to defend Thicke here. I'm saying WORDS MEAN THINGS

and i'm saying you're denying it being rapey when it's pretty fucking rapey

And I'm saying it isn't. If this dumbass song by a creepy guy is rapey then The Room is rapey.

stop fucking comparing rape culture to offering cupcakes and stupid movies you literal moron.

the fact that you're ignoring the comment linking to the article about actual victims and the lyrics to the song has me convinced you're just trolling.

I read it. I read it the first time it was passed around tumblr, actually. I disagree with it. Disagreement is a thing. We are part of a Disagreement Culture.

Chard &co. get off on thinking they're edgy and ~unlike those other crazy Tumblr folk~ so don't even bother

Stop comparing stupid songs to rape culture, you troll.

I hate this argument against it. Anything that was ever said by a rapist now implies rape in every situation? Or even just in sexual situations? No, what implies rape is the lack of consent, and nothing says lack of consent in this song.

From another perspective, the song appears to be about the singer being quite, quite sure she wants it (to the point that he must be deaf blind and insane if he's misreading these signals) based on dually implemented courtship interactions in the club.

Ahh, subjectivity

SA
I think I was agreeing with you guys but I might be misunderstanding. I find the argument that 'the song must be rape because some people's rapists said this to them' to be stupid.

Because it is. The idea that no one can every say "I know you want it" because rapists say it is ridiculous.

yeah, no, I'm agreeing with you. But looking back that wasn't clear.

Hm. I clearly remember you saying "I'm in it for the lulz, not this" after you asked for a thread defending rape culture to be frozen.

So, your white knighting that day was really you getting angry that people weren't paying you enough attention, then.

I'd add that when you take a serious issue and turn it into a cutesy adjective like "rapey" you're also diminishing the experiences of actual victims. (I know you're not the one who started that here, this is just where I'm commenting.)

Isn't it the OP's word choice?

Read the comment again, and you'll see why you just asked a useless question.

Damn, read your comment and you'll see why people don't like you. Your kneejerk hostility is extremely alienating.

Yup. Sorry some people are intent on reading "rape" into every damn thing. DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S A RAPE CULTURE AND THERE WERE NEKKID WOMEN IN THE VIDEO?

You sound stupid. Good luck with that.

I've been paying almost zero attention to the "Blurred Lines" fiasco, I have yet to watch the video or listen to the song, and this is the first time I'm seeing the lyrics. The repetition of "I know you want it/I hate them lines/I know you want it/But you're a good girl" and the "I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two" bit creep the hell out of me. I don't know if I would call it "rapey", but...it does sound like the kind of shit running through a disturbed dude's head while he's staring unblinkingly at a strange woman at the club waiting for the best opportunity to drug her drink. A little more uncomfortable than the usual bullshit game you get in these kind of songs.

The 'tear your ass in two' line squicks me, too.

I get the idea is 'LOOKIT MAH HUUUGE DIIIICK" but really it just makes me think of having to go to the ER and get stitches down there. D:
