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 said 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
be careful what you do
'before the lie becomes the truth'

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

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
and remember to always 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,yeah

People always told me,
'Be careful of what you do
don't go around
Breaking young girls' 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
yeah

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

yeah

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
and remember to always think twice
Do think twice
