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 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 [bad word] the [bad word] 

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) Do think twice! (Achakoo!) 

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 (Pa hoo (hee hee hee) Ta, uh) 

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 
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
