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 of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

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
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, just remember to always think twice
(Don't think twice, don't think twice)

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 (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

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

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

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

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

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

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover (don't Billie Jean)
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

    General Comment:1. Guys, STOP the MJ bashing! There isn't any concrete proof around the child molestation accusation, and I, for one, don't want to hear it. I'm 90% sure he didn't do anything.
    2. Awesome song! We had it at my school ball, and everyone in the room was yelling out the lyrics and dancing.

    General Comment:One his best songs. I remember the next day after the American Musica Awards where he first did the "moonwalk",all the kids would not shut-up about it. And I remember Katarina Witt doing his dance in her routine at the Olympics and more or less being criticized and she got really low marks for it.

    General Comment:It's simple the man slept with Billy Jean. He tells his current girl he was never with the other chick, that the child is someone else's. In the end the mother of the child shows up tells his girlfriend what really happened and he can't depute because the baby looks like him. He played around regardless of what his mother had told him and he got caught up like she said he would.
