[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 would dance on the floor in the round?"
She said I am the one
Who would 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 would dance on the floor in the round

[Pre-Chorus]
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
And mother always told me, "Be careful of what you love
Be careful of what you do
'Cause a lie becomes the truth"

[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
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
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

She told, "My baby, we'd danced 'til three."
And she looked at me
And showed a photo of a baby cry
His eyes looked like mine
So we danced on the floor in the round

[Pre-Chorus]
People always told me, "Be careful what you do
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

[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
