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 could 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

My 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

(Do think twice)

She told: My baby, that's a threat

As she looked at me

Then showed a photo of a baby crying

Eyes were like mine

Go on dance 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

But she came and stood right by me

Just to smell her 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

(No, she is not just my baby)

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

(Call me, Billie Jean)

Billie Jean is not my lover

(She is not at the scene)

Billie Jean is not my lover.
