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 what you do

Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

My mother always told me be careful who you love

Be careful what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth, yeah



Billie Jean is not my lover

She is 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 for forty nights the law was on her side

But who can stand when she's in demand, her schemes and her plans

'cause we danced on the floor in the round

So take my strong advice

Just remember to always think twice

Do think twice



She told my baby we danced 'til three 

And she looked at me, and showed me a photo

My baby cried, his eyes where like mine

Can we dance on the floor in the round



People always told me be careful what you do

Don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts

But she came and stood right by me

Just to smell her sweet perfume

This happened much too soon

She called me to her room



Billie Jean is not my lover

She is 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

Not my son



Billie Jean is not my lover

She is 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's not my son

Not my son
