Billie Jean

Em

1. She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

Am

I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one

Em

Who will dance on the floor in the round

Am Em

She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

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

Am

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one

Em

Who will dance on the floor in the round

*: 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

And be careful of what you do before the lie becomes the truth

R: Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who says that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

Am

She says I am the one

But the kid is not my son

2. For forty days and for 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, remember to always think twice

(Do think twice)

Em

3. She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me

Am

Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine

Em

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

*: People always told me be careful of what you do

Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

Then she stood right by me. The smell of sweet perfume.

This happened much too soon. She called me to her room.

R: Billie Jean is not my lover...

Am Em

So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice

(Do think twice)
