[Verse 1]
Bm9
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen
N.C
I said don't mind but what do you mean
Em9
I am the one
Bm9
Who will dance on the floor in the round
Em9
She said I am the one
Bm9
Who will dance on the floor in the round
N.C
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
N.C
Then every head turned
Em9
With eyes that dreamed of being the one
Bm9
Who will dance on the floor in the round
[Pre-chorus]
Em9 Bm9
People always told me: Be careful what you do
Em9 Bm9
Don't go around breaking young girl's hearts
Em9 Bm9
And mother always told me: Be careful of who you love
Gmaj7
Be careful of what you do
F#aug7
Cause the lie becomes the truth
[Chorus]
Bm9
Billie Jean is not my lover
N.C Em9
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
Bm9
But the kid is not my son
Em9
She says I am the one
Bm9
But the kid is not my son
[Verse 2]
Bm9
For forty days and forty nights the law was on her side
Em9
But who can stand when she's in demand her schemes and plans
Bm9
On the floor in the round
