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
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
She says I am the one, gonna dance on the floor in the round
Told me her name was Billie Jean, and she caused a scene
Every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
But she came and stood right by me and she smelled of sweet perfume
Be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean's not my lover
She's just a girl who knows I am the one
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
She says I am the one, gonna dance on the floor in the round
Forty days yeah for forty nights
Law was on her side
Who can stand and deny
These hurts and demands
Take my strong advice, remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
She told my baby that who danced to three
As she looked at me
Then showed a photo a baby cries
Eyes just like mine
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
But she came and stood right by me
She smelled of sweet perfume
Be careful what you do because the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean's not my lover
She's just the girl who knows I am the one
But the child is not my son
She say's I am the one
But the child is not my son
Billie Jean's not my lover
She's just a girl who knows I am the one
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
She say's I am the one
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
She say's I am the one
Gonna dance on the floor in the round
