dear robin thicke,

the only lines that are blurred are the ones that you're crossing

close your ***** lips, time for us girls to do the talking

you say you want a good girl

and the alcohol is your weapon

Acting like an animal

but self respect is my blessing

yes I got the power of resistance

as soon as you grab me, I've made my decision

keep ya distance

I've got my own pride

girls by my side

run together like felines

I dont want

and I don't need to be domesticated

if I say no you feel emasculated,

but I'm not your wifey

I'm not your mid life crisis

much more than plastic, my love is priceless

 

you’re quick to assume my dimensions

but the desire is 1 sided

my potential can’t be contained

by someone so small minded

i’m not going to lie,

there are times i did sing along

but there was always a part of me

that knew that it was wrong

degrading myself through the words in this song

i’m my own savior, dancing on my own

keep your striped pants away from me

and your fancy cologne

never impressed me anyways

cuz who’s gonna want you

when you’re long past your glory days

maybe you’ll actually have to start

remembering her name

 

if incoherence is a turn on

you can leave with whatever you got from Jamaica

you write a song talkin bout liberating me

read between the lines, verbally date ****** me

talkin bout gettin blasted, blurring judgement slurring words

you've supplied enough nastiness for the night, you don't need help from the girls

this song glamorized by the women it defeats

it doesn't count as seduction when you're invading our sheets

don't belittle me when your restraint is as small as your comprehension

I never said wanted you so drop the pretension

I don't wanna get nasty, I wanna get away

good looks and a catchy chorus doesn't make misogyny okay

 

I heard this song on the radio about 5 times a day

the world couldn't stay away

never listening to the words

singing along with no shame

maybe it's empowering to the girls that sing along

in the heat of the moment it doesn't feel wrong

but you're 100x classier than words in this song

worth so much more than ***** sheets

you wanna feel loved, so you slip into a dress and he slips into your drink

this is all a release, but you don't have to be the dizzy slam piece

just remember who you are

and what the world is saying

growing up,

they wanna invade your innocence

take your impressionable mind for granted

*** on the radio

violence on the tv

models in the magazine

but you're gonna have to tune it out

live on your own

live for yourself,

remember what your mama told you

keep your chin up because they're gonna try to break you

 

what rhymes with hug me

babe, you could never love me

cuz first you gotta respect me

accept no because maybe she’s just not ready

i’m not a piece of meat

you get to use, abuse

for your own personal grinder

be the one by her side

not the one lurking behind her

music is power

you’re adding fuel to the fire

women in music nowadays

yeah, we’re the survivors

against the cheaters and the liars

contributing to a mindset holding us back

so we gotta rise up keep

their pants up, and their minds on track

sincerely, every blurred line that never went back
