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'll dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one who'll 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'll 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]  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

She told my baby we danced till three then she looked at me
She showed a photo, my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh no)
'Cause we danced 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
But she came and stood right by me then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon, she called me to her room, hey 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, she says he is my son
She says I am the one
