She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

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

She said I am the one

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

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

People always told me "be careful of what you do

And don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts"

(Hee-hee)

And mother always told me "be careful of who you love

And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth"

For forty days and 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, just remember to always think twice

(Do think twice, do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me

Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no)

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me

"Be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"

She came and stood right by me

Just the smell of sweet perfume

This happened much too soon

She called me to her room

You know what you did (she says he is my son)

Breaking my heart babe
