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 Go and dance on the floor in the round And the people always told me, be careful what you do And don't you go around breaking young girls' hearts My mother always told me, be careful who you love And be careful what you do cause a lie becomes a truth And Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who thinks that I am the one But the kid is not my son But the kid is not my son She says I am the one 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 So take my strong advice Don't think twice She told me baby we'd danced 'til three Then she looked at me She showed me a photo of a baby crying His eyes looked like mine Go and dance on the floor in the round And the people always told me, be careful what you do And don't you go around breaking young girls' hearts But she came and stood right by me And she smelled of sweet perfume And this happened much too soon And she brought me to her room And Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who thinks that I am the one But the kid is not my son But the kid is not my son She says I am the one
