Lyrics and Music by Michael Jackson


Intro: 
  …  } ×2
  Em  } ×8
  Em F#m7 | Em7 F#m7  } ×2

Em  F#m7                Em7
She was more like a beauty queen
F#m7                Em
From a movie scene.
         F#m7  
I said, “Don’t mind,
            Em7       F#m7      Am7
But what do you mean, I am the one
Who will dance on the floor
         Em   F#m7   Em7
In the round?”
           F#m7      Am7
She said, “I am the one
Who will dance on the floor
         Em    F#m7   Em7  F#m7   Em
In the round.”

         F#m7               Em7
She told me her name was Billie Jean
F#m7                  Em
As she caused a scene,
        F#m7  
Then every head turned with eyes
Em7             F#m7       Am7
That dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor
         Em   F#m7   Em7  F#m7  
In the round.

   C
   People always told me,
       Em
   “Be careful of what you do
             C
   And don’t go around breaking
                  Em
   Young girls’ hearts.” (Hee-hee.)
       C
   And Mother always told me,
       Em
   “Be careful of who you love
          C
   And be careful of what you do
   (Oh-oh),
              B7
   ’Cause the lie becomes the
   Truth.” (Oh-oh.) Hey-ey.

Chorus:
    Em  F#m7        Em7    F#m7  
     Billie Jean is not my lover.
    Em          F#m7       Em7
     She’s just a girl who claims
          F#m7      Am7
     That I am the one
     (Oh, baby),
                            Em  F#m7  
     But the kid is not my son (hoo).
    Em7       F#m7      Am7
     She says I am the one (oh, baby),
                            Em
     But the kid is not my son.
           F#m7          Em7
     (Hee-hee-hee, no-no,
          F#m7        Em
     Hee-hee-hee, hoo.)

       F#m7               Em7
For forty days and for forty nights,
F#m7                 Em
Law was on her side.
        F#m7  
But who can stand
              Em7
When she’s in demand?
F#m7             Am7
Her schemes and plans?
’Cause we danced on the floor
         Em   F#m7    Em7
In the round (hee).
        F#m7        Am7
So take my strong advice,
Just remember
                Em    F#m7  
To always think twice.
          Em7         F#m7  
(Do think twice.) Do think twice.
          Em
(Ah-hoo.)

         F#m7  
She told my baby
             Em7
We’d danced ’til three,
F#m7                   Em
Then she looked at me.
            F#m7           Em7
Then showed a photo of a baby crying.
    F#m7           Am7
His eyes were like mine (oh, no).
Go and dance on the floor
       Em      F#m7  
In the round, baby.
  Em7      F#m7  
(Ooh, hee-hee-hee.)

   C
   People always told me,
       Em
   “Be careful of what you do
             C
   And don’t go around breaking
                  Em
   Young girls’ hearts.”
   (Don’t break no hearts, hee-hee.)
           C
   But she came and stood right by me,
            Em
   Just the smell of sweet perfume.
        C
   This happened much too soon.
       B7
   She called me to her room, hey-ey.

Chorus:
    Em  F#m7        Em7    F#m7  
     Billie Jean is not my lover.
     (Hoo.)
    Em          F#m7       Em7
     She’s just a girl who claims
          F#m7      Am7
     That I am the one,
                            Em
     But the kid is not my son.
     F#m7     Em7     F#m7  
     No-no-no, no-no, no-no-no (hoo).

    Em  F#m7        Em7    F#m7  
     Billie Jean is not my lover.
    Em          F#m7       Em7
     She’s just a girl who claims
          F#m7      Am7
     That I am the one,
                           Em
     But the kid is not my son.
      F#m7  
     (No, no.)
    Em7       F#m7      Am7
     She says I am the one,
                            Em  F#m7  
     But the kid is not my son.
        Em7  F#m7  
     (No, hee-hee-hee.)
