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 says I am the one
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
She says I am the one
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
Be careful what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth," ay
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
For 40 days and 40 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 'til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cryin', his eyes were like mine
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
She came and stood right by me, just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon, she called me to her room, ay
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
I am the one, one, one
She says I am the one
I am the one
