She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen I said, don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billy Jean as she caused a scene And every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Who would dance on the floor in the round
People always told me Be careful what you do Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts And mama always told me Be careful who you love Be careful what you do Because a lie becomes the truth
Billy 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 that 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 could stand when she's in demand With 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 danced 'til three Then she looked at me And showed a photo of my baby crying His eyes were like mine So we danced 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 I could smell her sweet perfume I guess it happened way too soon She called me to her room
Billy Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who Claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son Billy Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who Says that I am the one But the kid is not my son
