[Em] [A] [Em] [Bm] [E]
[Em] [A] [Em] [E]
[Em] She was [Bm] more [Em] like a beauty queen from a movie scene
Said, don't mind me, but I'm due to your name
I [A] am the one who will [Am] dance on the [Em] floor in the round
[A] [Em] She said, [A] I am [Am] the one who will dance on the floor [Em] in the round
[Bm] [A] [Em] [E] [Em] She told [Bm] me her [Em] name was Billie Jean and she calls the same
And every hair turn with ice cream
I am [A] the one who will dance on the [Am] floor [Em] in the round
[A] [Em] [E] [C] People always told [Em] me, me tell what you do
[C] Don't go around breaking young [Em] girls' hearts
[C] And mama always told [Em] me, be careful your love
[Am] Be careful what you [B] do, the lie becomes the [E] truth
[Bm] Billie [Em] Jean is not my [G] lover
[Em]
She's [Bm] just a [Em] girl who claims I have [A] no one
But the kid is not my [Em]
son
[A] [E] She says, I [A] am the one
But the kid is not [Em] my [Bm] son
[Am] [Em] [E] [Em]
[Bm] For forty days, couple [Em] forty nights, love is on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand, her schemes [A] and plans
Cause we danced on [Am] the floor [Em] in the round
[A] [Em] So take my [Am] strong advice
[A] Just [Em] remember to always think twice
[Em] Oh, think [Em] twice
She [Bm] told my baby [Em] we danced till three and she [D] looked at [Em] me
In [Bm] the shoulder photo, [Em] baby cried his eyes were [A] like [Am] mine
Cause [A] we danced on the floor [Em] in the [Bm] round
[Am] [Em] [D] [E] [C]
People always told [Em] me, me tell what you do
[C]
Don't go around breaking [Em] young girls' hearts
[C]
And she came and stood right by me [Em] with a smell of sweet perfume
[Am] It happened much too [B] soon, she called me to her room
[Em]
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims I [C] have [Am]
no [E] one
[Am] [A] But the kid is not [Em] my son
[A] [Em] She says, [A] I am the [Am] one
[A] But the kid is not [Em] my son
[Am] [Em] [E]
[Em] So, [Bm] Billie [Em] Jean is not my lover
[Bm] Billie Jean [Em] is not my lover
[Bm] Billie Jean [Em] is not my lover
[B] [G] [Em] [Bm]
[Em]
