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 

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 plans 

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round 

So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice 



She told my baby that's a threat as she looked at me 

Then showed a photo of baby cries eyes were like mine

Go and 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 

She came and stood right by me 

Then the smell of sweet perfume 

This happened much too soon 

She called me to her room 



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
