Lyrics (Start at 0:28):

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
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”
Hey, hey

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 for 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, hoo) Do think twice

She told my baby we’d danced till 3:00, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby crying
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
Don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts” (Don’t break no hearts)
But she came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room, hey, hey

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 (Breakin’ 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 (She is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (She is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (She is just a girl)
Billie Jean is—
Billie Jean is—
