[Intro]




[Verse]


She was more l

ike a beauty q

ueen from a mo

vie scene
              
I said don't m

              
ind, but what 

              
do you mean I 

        
am the one
              
Who will dance

              
 on the floor 

          
in the round 
              
She said I am 

            
the one who wi

              
ll dance on th

              
e floor in the

    
 round



She told me he

r name was Bil

lie Jean, as s

he caused a sc

ene
              
Then every hea

              
d turned with 

              
eyes that drea

              
med of being t

    
he one
              
Who will dance

              
 on the floor 

          
in the round


             
People always 

           
told me be car

eful of what y

ou do
             
And don't go a

              
round breaking

              
 young girls' 

  
hearts
             
And mother alw

              
ays told me be

 
 careful of wh

o you love
             
And be careful

              
 of what you d

             
o 'cause the l


ie becomes the

 truth


[Chorus]


Billie Jean is

 not my lover
              
She's just a g

              
irl who claims

              
 that I am the

 
 one
              
But the kid is

         
 not my son
              
She says I am 

            
the one, but t

              
he kid is not 

   
my son


[Verse]


For forty days

 and forty nig

hts

The law was on her side

But who can stand when she's in demand
              
Her schemes an

  
d plans
              
'cause we danc

              
ed on the floo

            
r in the round
              
So take my str

            
ong advice, ju

              
st remember to

              
 always think 


twice
(do think twice.)



She told my ba

by we'd danced

 'til three

Then she looked at me

She showed a photo of a baby crying
              
His eyes looke

       
d like mine
              
Go on dance on

              
 the floor in 

    
the round, bab

y


             
People always 

           
told me be car

eful of what y

ou do
             
And don't go a

              
round breaking

              
 young girls' 

  
hearts
    
She came and s

tood right by 

me
         
Then the smell

 of sweet perf

ume
     
This happened 

much too soon
    
She called me 

to her room


[Chorus]
