[Verse 1]
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
And she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of bein' the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well people always told me, "Be careful what you do
Don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts" (ooh-ooh)
And mother always told me, "Be careful who you love
Be careful what you do
'Cause the lie becomes the truth" And

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Forty days and forty nights, law was on her side
Who can stand when she's in demand?
Her schemes and plans
And we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, and remember to always think twice
(Oh, think twice)
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
So we danced on the floor in the round, Baby

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well people always told me, "Be careful what you do
Don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts"(ooh)
She came and stood right by me
The smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
And

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
