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, 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

Bridge

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 be careful of what you do before the lie becomes the truth

Chorus

Billie Jean is not my lover

 She's just a girl who says 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

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 plans.

 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

 So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice

(Do think twice)

Verse 3

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me

 Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine

 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

Bridge

People always told me be careful of what you do

 Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

 Then she stood right by me. 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 says 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 take my strong advice, remember to always think twice

(Do think twice)
