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
She said I am the one
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
And people always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
My mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
And Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who thinks that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
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
So take my strong advice, do think twice
She told my baby we'd danced 'til three
Then she looked at me
She showed me a photo of a baby crying
His eyes looked like mine
Go on dance on the floor in the round
And people always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And she came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
And this happened much too soon
She brought me to her room
And Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who thinks that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
But the kid is not my son
