She was more like a beauty queen From a movie screen 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 said her name was Billie Jean As she caused a scene And 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 what you do Don't go around breaking young girls hearts Mother always told me be careful of who you love Be careful of what you do before the lie Becomes the truth Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who says 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 for forty nights The law was on her side But who can stand when she's in demand Her schemes and her plans 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round So take my strong advice And remember to always think twice (Do think twice) She told my baby that we 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 People always told me be careful what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts Then she came and stood right by me The smell of sweet perfume This happened much too soon But she called me to her room Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who says 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 Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who says 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 So take my strong advice And remember to always think twice (Do think twice)
