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 what you do Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts My mother always told me be careful who you love Be careful what you do because the lie becomes the truth, yeah Billie Jean is not my lover She is 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 her plans 'cause we danced on the floor in the round So take my strong advice Just remember to always think twice Do think twice She told my baby we danced 'til three And she looked at me, and showed me a photo My baby cried, his eyes where like mine Can we dance on the floor in the round People always told me be careful what you do Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts But she came and stood right by me Just to smell her sweet perfume This happened much too soon She called me to her room Billie Jean is not my lover She is 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 not my son Billie Jean is not my lover She is 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 not my son
