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 told me, "Be careful of what you do

Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts" (hee-eeh)

And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love

And be careful of what you do (oh-oh)

'Cause the lie becomes the truth" (oh-oh)

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, hee!

So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice

(Don't think twice) Do think twice! (ah-hoo!)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me

Then showed a photo of a baby crying, his eyes were like mine (oh, no)

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

(ooh, hee-hee-hee)

People always told me, "Be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"

(don't break no hearts!) (hee-hee)

She came and stood right by me

Then the smell of sweet perfume (ha-oh)

This happened much too soon (ha-oh, ha-ooh)

She called me to her room (ha-oh, hoo!)

Billie Jean is not my lover (hoo!)

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

No-no-no, no-no-no-no-no-no

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh baby)

But the kid is not my son (oh, no, no)

She says I am the one (oh baby)

But the kid is not my son (no, hee-hee)
