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
She said "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
Go on dance, on the floor, in the round
And the people always told me "Be careful what you do"
And "Don't you go around breaking young girls′ hearts"
My mother always told me "Be careful who you love"
And "Be careful what you do because the lie becomes the truth"
And Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl, who thinks that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
But the kid is not my son
She says " I am the one"
For forty days and for forty nights
Law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
So take my strong advice, don′t think twice
She told me "Baby, we′d danced 'til three"
Then she looked at me
She showed me a photo of my baby crying
His eyes looked like mine
Go on dance, on the floor, in the round
And people always told me "Be careful what you do"
And "Don′t you go around breaking young girls' hearts"
And she came and stood right by me
And she smelt the sweet perfume
And this happened much too soon
And she brought me to her room
And Billie Jean is not my lover
She′s just a girl who thinks that I am the one
But the kid is not my son, yeah
But the kid is not my son
She says that "I am the one"
