Lyrics
She was more like
A beauty queen from a movie scene
I said, "Don't mind me
But 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 (ooh)
Don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts, no"
And mamma always told me
"Be careful who you love
Be careful of what you do (oh-oh-oh)
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
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
Oh, think twice
She told my baby we danced til three
And she looked at me
Then showed a photo
Baby cried, his eyes were like mine, oh no
Because we danced on the floor in the round
People always told me
"Be careful of what you do (ooh-ooh)
Don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts, no"
But she came and stood right by me (oh)
With the smell of sweet perfume
It happened much too soon (oh-oh-oh)
She called me to her room, hey
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
So, Billie Jean is not my lover (she's just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she's just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover
Writer(s): Michael Jackson
