[Verse 1]
She was more like a beauty queen
From a movie screen
I said, "I don't know, what do you mean
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 who you love
And look out for what you do
Because the 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 claims I am the one
But the kid is not my son
[Verse 2]
For forty days and forty nights
Law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and her plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice
Remember to always think twice (Think twice)

[Instrumental Break]

She told, "My baby, we danced 'til three"
Then she looked at me
And showed a picture of a baby crying
His eyes were like mine
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, people always told me, "Be careful of what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
She came and stood right by me
And the smell of sweet perfume
It 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 claims I am the one
[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
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
