She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen
Said, don't mind, but what do you mean?
I am [A] the one [Am] who would dance on the floor [Em] and around
She said, I [Am] am the one who would dance on the floor
[C] and around
She
[D] [Em]
said her name was Billie Jean and she caused a scene
With all her head turned with eyes that dreamed of being [A] the one
[Am] Who would dance on the floor [Em] and around
[C]
People always told [Em] me, be careful what you do
[C] Don't go around breaking young girls' [Em] hearts
[C] Mama always told me, [Em]
be careful who you love
[C] Careful what you do [B] before the lie, lie becomes the [Em] truth
[Am] Billie Jean [Em]
is not my lover
[Am] She's just a girl [Em] who says that I'm [Am] the [Bm] one
[Am] But the kid is not my [Em]
son
She
[E] says [Am] I'm the one
[F#m] But the [Am] kid [D] is not my [Em] son
For forty days and forty nights the law was on her side
Who can stand when she's in demand, her schemes and her plans
Cause we danced on the floor and [Em] around
So take my [Am] strong advice
Remember [C] to always think twice, do think twice
She [Em]
told my baby that we danced till three and she looked at me
She showed a photo, my baby cried, his eyes were [A] like mine
[Am] Cause we danced on the floor [Em] and around
[C] People always told [Em] me, be careful what you do
[C] Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
[C] And she stood right by [Em] me, the smell of sweet perfume
[C]
It happened much too soon, [B] she called me to her room
Billie [E] [Em]
[Am] Jean [Em] is not my lover
She's [Am] just a girl [Em] who says that [Am] I'm the one
But the kid [E] is not my [Em] son
She [E] says [Am] I'm [E]
the one
But the kid is not my [Em] son
So take [Am] my strong advice
[E]
And [Am] remember [D] to [Em]
always think twice
Do think [C] twice
