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
Who will dance on the floor in the round?"
She said, "I am the one who will 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
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth"
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (ooh)
She says I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (hee-hee-hee, oh no, hee-hee-hee, ooh)
For 40 days and 40 nights, law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand, her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
Do think twice (do think twice), ooh
She told my baby, we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby cryin', his eyes were like mine (oh, no)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby (ooh, hee-hee-hee)
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts" (don't break no 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, hey
Billie Jean is not my lover (ooh)
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son (no-no-no, no-no, no-no-no, ooh)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (no, no)
She says I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (no, hee-hee-hee)
Hee, whoo
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son (no, no, no, ooh, oh)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (don't do this, baby)
But the kid is not my son, no-no-no-no (no-no-no, ah)
She says I am the one (no)
But the kid is not my son (no-no-no-no, ooh)
She says I am the one (ooh, you know what you did)
She says he is my son (breakin' my heart, babe)
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (don't call me, Billie Jean, ooh)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (she's not what she seems)
Billie Jean is not (hee, oh)
Billie Jean is not
