People always told me
'Be careful of what you do
And don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts' (heee)
And mother always told me
'Be careful of who you love
And be careful what you do
'Cause the lie becomes the truth' (hee, hee)

Yeah, uh, uh-huh

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
And don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me
Be careful who you love
Be careful what you do
'Cause the lie becomes the truth (hee, hee)

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 (hoo)
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son, no, no

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 plans
'Cause we danced, on the floor, in the round (hee)
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
Do think twice (hoo)

She told my baby
We’d danced ‘til three
Then she looked at me
Then showed a photo
My baby cried
His eyes were like mine (oh, no)
'Cause we dance on the floor, in the round, baby

People always told me
Be careful what you do
And don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts (hee)
And mother always told me
Be careful who you love
Be careful what you do
'Cause the lie becomes the truth (hee, hee)

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 (hoo)
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son, no, no

Uh-huh, Billie Jean, number one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
