[Verse]
Em
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
Em
I said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean
         Am                                    Em
I am the one that'll dance on the floor in the round"

Em
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Em                                                         Am                                     Em
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Who will dance on the floor in the round

     C                          Em
Yeah people always told me, "Be careful of what you do
      C                                Em
Don't run around breaking young girls' hearts," oooh
C                        Em
Mama always told me, "Be careful who you love
       C
And be careful what you do
         D
'Cause a lie becomes the truth," yeah

[Chorus]
Em
Billie Jean is not my lover, no
                                            Am
She's just a girl that claims that I am the one
                      Em
But the kid is not my son
                  Am
She says I am the one
                      Em
But the kid is not my son

[Verse]
Em
For forty days and for forty nights
Em
The law was on her side

But who can stand when she's in demand
                Am
Her schemes and plans
                                     Em
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

Em
She told my baby, "We'd danced 'til three."

Then she looked at me
Em
She showed a photo, my baby cried
                     Am
His eyes looked like mine, yeah
                                     Em
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

    C                          Em
And people always told me, "Be careful of what you do
      C                                Em
Don't run around breaking young girls' hearts."
C                        Em
Mama always told me, "Be careful who you love
       C
And be careful what you do
         D
'Cause a lie becomes the truth," yeah

[Chorus]
Em
Billie Jean is not my lover, no
Em                                          Am
