Lyrics
Billie Jean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 what you do
And don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me
Be careful who you love
Be careful what you do
'Cause the lie
Becomes the truth
Billie Jean
Is not my lover
She's just a girl
Who claims 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 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
So take my strong advice
Just remember
To always think twice
(Do think twice)
Do think twice
Hooo
She told my baby
We'd danced 'til three
Then she looked at me
Then showed a photo
My baby cried
His eyes were like mine
(Oh, no)
Coz we dance on the floor
In the round, baby
People always told me
Be careful of what you do
And don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts
(Don't break no hearts)
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl
Wwho claims that
I am the one
But the kid is not my son
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
But the kid is not my son
No, no
She says I am the one
(Oh, babe)
But the kid is not my son
Hee, hee, hee
Hoo
Hoo
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No, no, no
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl
Who claims that
I am the one
(You know what you did to me, babe)
But the kid is not my son
No, no, no, no
No, no
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No, no
She says I am the one
You know what you did
She says he is my son
Breaking my heart, babe
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover (6x)
