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 tell me, be careful of what you do Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts And mother always tell me, be careful of what you love 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, 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 She told my baby we'd danced ‘til three Then she looked at me And showed the photo of my baby crying His eyes were like mine So we danced on the floor, in the round People always tell me, be careful of what you do Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts She came and stood right by me Then 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
