She was more like a beauty queen from the movie scene

Said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean

I am the one that'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 will dance on the floor in the round

Yeah, people always told me, "Be careful of what you do

Don't run around breaking young girls' hearts, " ooh

Mama always told me, "Be careful who you love

Be careful what you do

'Cause a lie becomes the truth, " yeah

Billie Jean is not my lover, no

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

But the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights

The law was on her side

But who can stand while she's in demand

Her schemes and plans

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

Mm, she told my baby, "We'd danced 'til three"

Then she looked at me

She showed a photo, my baby cried

His eyes looked like mine, yeah

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

Ooh, and people always told me, "Be careful of what you do

Don't run around breaking young girls' hearts, " ooh

Mama always told me, "Be careful who you love

Yeah, be careful what you do

Because a lie becomes the truth, " yeah

Billie Jean is not my lover, no

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

But the kid is not my son

He is not my son, no, no

Yeah, mama always told me, "Be careful who you love

And be careful what you do

'Because a lie becomes the truth"

Billie Jean is not my lover, no

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

Yeah, the kid is not my son, yeah

She says I am the one

But the kid is not my son
