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 told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of bein` 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 breakin` 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 for 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) Do think twice!
She told my baby we`d danced `til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby cryin`, his eyes were like mine
`Cause we danced on the floor in the round

People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
And don`t go around breakin` young girls` 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

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

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
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

You know what you did
You know what you did
You know what you did
You know what you did
Breakin` my heart, babe
Yeah you`re breaking my heart
