Another thing I've found helpful to view this song in the light of a rape concept is to imagine you're a woman in a dark alley way and a man comes up behind you and rapes you while saying 'I know you want it, even though you're a good girl'.... see where I'm coming from? So this is how I should always imagine myself talking to women. So should I start with " Excuse me miss, don't worry I am just..."? Do you understand that people are different from you? My guess is that you would NEVER be in a club acting like she is in the song, which is why a guy like Robin would never say that to you. This girl however is probably much more open to a man talking like that. But then of course you have no concept of other women's fantasies or desires. I was talking with a woman a while back about crazy fantasies. Her craziest was that she would be sitting at a bar and a guy would just come up to her start talking to her as he slowly starts sliding his hand up her skirt right off the bat. How would she actually react to that I have no idea and she said she didn't either but the point is it is her fantasy that she dreams about. Other women like being spanked, tied up. Oh and get this some women even act out rape fantasies with their husbands. Is that odd? You bet it is in my opinion but what I am getting at is not all women are like you thank god. Some women like the old notion of being a housewife, some don't, some are lesbians even. STOP SPEAKING FOR ALL WOMEN. "I think you want it" Lol would be the response from just about every girl I have been with who like talking dirty. I guess that is all it is actually, talking dirty. Go find some dirty talk examples from extremely loving couples and you will hear some pretty twisted stuff sometimes. But rapists have said it before so they should probably stop right? |

My wife loves the line "I know you want it". Use it all the time when we are getting into it. He response isn't punching me and claiming harrassment it is more like "fuck yea I do". Which is kind of the key with women unfortunately. If women do in fact want it then the line is very likely going to be a turn on but if she doesn't want it then it is suddenly him telling her what she wants and the she will want it one way or another. This is ridiculous. I was hanging out with a few guys the other night and offered my buddy a beer. He said no and my response was oh come on I know you want it. Same sentence but COMPLETELY different meaning. Would you like to start banning sentences? Do you understand the word context? Do you understand how the context of a paragraph can drastically affect a sentence? It goes for any analysis. You have no business reviewing one paragraph of a novel if you haven't read all the others. |

Ok I have to add my interpretation here since I only just heard that it is being related to rape. First off I am a man so of course that may affect my interpretation but everyone's is affected somehow. Not to offend but I sort of equate women who have been raped calling out this song as being along the lines of PTSD flashbacks. Of course not that severe or anything but when you have been through something traumatic you tend to be alittle jumpy about it happening again. Like how a car backfire can set off an ex marine. It is not a gun but it sounds like it so it triggers the response. Like the "I know you want it" line. Yes rapists have said it but I have also said that to my wife when we are getting into it. Her response, "damn right I do" not "you sound like a rapist". Context matters alot. Ok so that was the preface, here is the meaning I got from it. The first section with context is 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 What I got here, and this is important as it sets the scene for the rest of the story, is that she is a wild and outgoing woman who has gotten into a meaningful relationship and has settled down. However on this night that she meets him she is out showing her wild side. He is trying to seduce her by injecting the idea that she is still wild and she almost got tied down by this guy but she hasn't yet and she should embrace her wild side again. So that is the scene that starts it, happens every night at bars. Guys trying to get laid even with married women. Then the next important line. But you're a good girl! The way you grab me Must wanna get nasty Go ahead, get at me Seems like they are dancing and she is being touchy. He, like just about every guy, immediately interprets this as she wants to get nasty. Again happens every night at bars. Most night it happened to me too. Most nights I was also wrong, I went home dissapointed like 99.99% of other guys do every night. So I'm just watchin' and waitin' Alot of critiques have related this to a stalker, but what part of this song leading up tho this implies any sort of a stalker situation. Again it may be the same sentence but it has an entirely different meaning based on the context preceding. My thought is that they are still dancing and he is watching her, again like it always is, girls dances with guy, he dances back like shit while watching her dance. Meanwhile he is WAITING. Now this is important to the rape nonsense. What does the word waiting mean folks? He is waiting for her to make the decision to leave her relationship and get nasty with him. Again, WAITING. No more pretending Cause now your winning Here's our beginning I always wanted a Good girl! Now after all the seduction she has gone home with him. "She is winning" In his words she made the right choice. :Here's our beginning" This is a critical line I believe because the line that follows it is "I always wanted a good girl" Now I would have said that this line means that he always wanted to make a notch on his bedpost for a good girl so he can brag about how he got a committed woman in bed. However the line "here's out beginning" changes that. Because of that line I have to say that he means the beginning of a relationship. What guy would use that line to talk about a one night stand or a night of raping for that matter? This tells me that he was very into her because she is a good girl and he wanted to find a good girl which to be honest is a very hard thing to do in a bar. So he succeeded in getting her to leave the first guy for Robin. Now like I said earlier if you are looking to characterize this as a rape anthem you can. It definitely fits that if you want it to. I think my review is much more thorough and based solely on the information provided by the song. Which is key. If there were some sort of line like "come on just drink this" then I would be with you the whole way, but there is no basis for the rape claim in the song except for some lines have been used by rapists. To prove my point I could also very well argue that this song is promoting pimping. Where Robin is the pimp at a club trying to recruit a new working girl. He mentions specifically that he is a pimp, an irresistible one at that. At the end she is winning, possibly a reference to all the money she is making. What you don't like work. That could be referring to her not liking her job and how having sex would be better. This is of course ridiculous but I am trying to show how given a preconceived notion you can find a totally incorrect meaning in just about any song. Like how everybody hears a love song in the intentional stalker story of every breath you take. Of course the final point here is let's imagine for a minute that it is about rape. This means that Robin Thicke decided to do a song about raping a girl in a club. So much so that he got Pharrell Williams to collaborate on it, as opposed to the much more typical story of a guy trying to pick up a girl even if she is tied down already. |
