Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 2]

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 will dance on the floor in the round

/ Em F#m G F#m / / Am - - - Em F#m G F#m / /

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
And be careful what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

/ C - Em - / / / C - B7 - /

{Refrain} 
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

/ Em F#m G F#m / / Am - - - Em F#m G F#m / /

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

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo, my baby cried - his eyes were like mine
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' 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 who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

{Refrain}

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
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
