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'd go and 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'd go and dance on the floor in the round People always told me "Son, be careful of what you do You can't go around Breaking young girls' hearts" Momma always told me Son, be careful of who you love And be careful of what you do Before a lie becomes the truth And oh... Billie Jean was never my lover She's just a girl who claims That I am the one Who'd go and dance On the floor in the round For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side But who can stand when she's in demand But her schemes and plans... Go and danced on the floor in the round She told my baby we'd danced till three Then she looked at me 'Showed a picture and my baby cried- His eyes looked like mine Go and dance on the floor in the round People always told me Be careful of what you do You can't go around Breaking young girls' hearts But she stood right by me And the smell of her perfume Started to consume me As she led me to her room And oh, God knows... Billie Jean was never my lover, no She's just a girl who claims That I am the one But the kid is not my son Billie Jean What have you done?
