Lyrics of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
verse
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
pre-chorus
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls′ hearts" (hee-eeh)
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do (oh, oh)
'Cause the lie becomes the truth" (oh, oh), eh-eh
chorus
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (ooh!), uh
She says I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son
(Hee-hee-hee, hee-hee-hee, ooh!) no, no
verse
For 40 days and for 40 nights, I 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 (hee)
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
(Don't think twice!) Do think twice! (Ah-hoo)
She told my baby we′d danced 'til 3:00, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby crying, his eyes were like mine (oh, no)
′Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
(Ooh, hee-hee-hee)
pre-chorus
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 she came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room, hey
chorus
Billie Jean is not my lover (hoo)
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one, uh
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no, no-no-no-no-no-no (hoo)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She′s just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (no, no)
She says I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son
(No, hee-hee)
verse
Hee! Hoo!
chorus
She says I am the one, uh
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no, hoo (oh)
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, baby)
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no, no-no-no-no
She says I am the one (no)
But the kid is not my son (no-no-no)
She says I am the one (you know what you did)
She says he is my son (breakin' my heart, babe)
She says I am the one
outro
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (don′t call me Billie Jean, hoo)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (she's not at the scene)
Yeah, Billie Jean is not...
