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 of what you do And don't go around Breaking young girls' hearts' And mother always told me, 'Be careful of who you love And be careful what you do 'Cause the lie becomes the truth'
CHORUS: The 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
For forty days and 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 (Do think twice) Do think twice
She told my baby We danced till three And she looked at me Then showed a photo My baby cried His eyes were like mine Can we dance on the floor, in the round, babe
People always told me, 'Be careful of what you do And don't go around Breaking young girls' hearts' (Don't break no hearts)
But you came and stood right by me Just a smell of sweet perfume This happened much too soon She called me to her room
CHORUS
She says I am the one You know what you did She says he is my son Breaking my heart, babe She says I am the one
