Lyrics
Intro
Everybody listen up
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Everybody listen up
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Verse 1
Something is clear in how you behave
Your way of treating women is out of date
Just know that no means no
The one thing to accept
Is an informed, enthusiastic, and clear yes
Bridge
Ok, now my goal
Is to educate you
I’m not an animal
You can’t just come and “take it”
Even if I shake it
What I do is my choice
I have my own voice
And you should know that
Chorus
I’m not your girl
Don’t always want it
You can’t assume it
Don’t always want it
I’m not your girl
Your view’s problematic
You’ve gotta ask me
�Golding !2
You can’t just nag me
Consent’s defined
Don’t always want it
You can’t assume it
Don’t always want it
I’m not your girl
The way you grab me
That’s called harassment
Can’t disrespect me
Verse 2
I’m not an invitation
Not just your recreation
Don’t matter what I’m wearing
I do not exist to please you
I’m not some object
Hey, hey, hey
I demand respect
Hey, hey, hey
You can’t expect sex
Hey, hey, hey
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus
Statement
For my contrafact, I decided to write lyrics about consent to the tune of the 2013 Robin
Thicke song “Blurred Lines.” The popular song met lots of controversy due to it’s lyrics which
promoted rape culture, such as “But you're an animal / Baby, it's in your nature” and the repeated
“I know you want it.” Despite this, it was a hit song and was nominated for two Grammy
Awards, a sign of society accepting the objectification and degradation of women. By rewriting
the lyrics to promote the exact opposite message, I aim to harness the catchy beat into a song
which is both educational and enjoyable to listen to.
