She was more like a beauty queen
From a movie scene
I said: Don't mind, but what do you mean
I am the one
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one
Gonna dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean
As she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes
That dreamed of being the one
Gonna dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
Don't go around breaking young girl's hearts
And mother always told me
Be careful of who you love
Be careful of what you do
'Cause the lie becomes the truth

CHORUS:
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice,
Just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

She told my baby that's a threat
As she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby cries
Eyes would like mine
Gonna dance on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

CHORUS:
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son

CHORUS:
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
She says he is my son
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover ...
