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 of what you do
And don’t go around
Breaking young girls’ hearts’
And mother always told me,
‘Be careful of who you love
And be careful what you do
‘Cause the lie becomes the truth’

[Refrain]
The 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
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)

She told my baby
We danced till three
And she looked at me
Then showed a photo
My baby cried
His eyes were like mine
Can we dance on the floor, in the round, babe

People always told me,
‘Be careful of what you do
And don’t go around
Breaking young girls’ hearts’
(Don’t break no hearts)

But you came and stood right by me
Just a smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

[Refrain]
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
