^EmShe was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the ^Amone Who will dance on the floor in the ^Emround She said I am the ^Amone, who will dance on the floor in the ^Emround

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the ^Amone Who will dance on the floor in the ^Emround

Bridge:

^CPeople always told me be ^Emcareful of what you do Don't ^Cgo around breaking young girls' ^Emhearts And ^Cmother always told me be ^Emcareful of who you love And be ^Ccareful of what you do before the ^B7lie becomes the truth

Chorus: Em Am Em Gadd9/E Em Billie Jean is not my lover Am Em Am Bmadd11/A She's just a girl who says that I am the one Gadd11/A Bm7/A Em But the kid is not my son

She says I am the ^Amone Gadd11/A Bm7/A Em But the kid is not my son

Verse 2:

^EmFor forty days and for forty nights. The law was on her side. But who can stand when she's in demand. Her schemes and ^Amplans. 'Cause we danced on the floor in the ^Emround So take my strong ad^Amvice, remember to always think ^Emtwice (Do think twice)

Verse 3:

^EmShe told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like ^Ammine 'Cause we danced on the floor in the ^Emround

Bridge:

^CPeople always told me be ^Emcareful of what you do Don't ^Cgo around breaking young girls' ^Emhearts Then she ^Cstood right by me. The ^Emsmell of sweet perfume. This ^Chappened much too soon. She ^B7called me to her room.

Chorus: Em Am Em Gadd9/E Em Billie Jean is not my lover Am Em Am Bmadd11/A She's just a girl who says that I am the one Gadd11/A Bm7/A Em But the kid is not my son

She says I am the ^Amone Gadd11/A Bm7/A Em But the kid is not my son So take my strong ad^Amvice, remember to always think ^Emtwice (Do think twice)
