Michael Jackson – Billie Jean Lyrics

R&B

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said dont mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round

2nd verse
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

Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
And dont go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love

And be careful of what you do cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and forty nights
Law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
Go dance on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice

(do think twice)
She told my baby, we'll dance till 3: 00
And she looked at me

Then showed a photo of a baby cries
his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
People always told me be careful of what you do
And dont go around breaking young girls hearts
She came and stood right by me
Just the smell of her sweet perfume

This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, she says he is my son
She says I am the one

    I think Billie Jean is a very inappropriate song. It's about Michael having an affair with a woman and he then claims that when she's pregnant and has a kid, that the kid is not his son! So much for the guy that loves kids! He doesn't even want his own kid! This song is crass, so much so, I'm even going to delete it off my ipod! Unfortuently, the beat is so catchy, and I fear I'll never get the tune out of my head! Billie Jean is not a healthy song.

    Billie Jean was an obsessed fan of his. That's how this song came about. Do we hear anything about this kid anywhere? No.Because it doesn't exist.

    the person who said the song is anappropriate.... its just a song. Michael Jackson wrote song. not every song reflects the writers own life. also, he was 23/24 at the time. he may not have wanted kids at that time. this is a classic track.

    To the person that says Billie Jean is inappropriate, GET A LIFE! Its just a damn song, and just happens to be one of the most famous and recognized songs around the world. Also the song tells of an experience Michael had with a crazed fan, who ultimately ended up in a psych ward.

    This song is not inappropriate at all its just a song. Your just saying it's inappropriate cause you do not like it, but if you do not like it you don't have to make up stories about a song being inappropriate.

    As much as we all love Micheal Jackson, none of us will really know the truth about anything in his life. We all believe what we want to believe. I believe the man was a legend! A great loss to not only the world of musis but the world itself! An extraordinary man! I'm gutted he's gone but pleased he is finally at peace! Farewell MJ x x x x

    As much as we all think we know and love this man I dont think any of us will ever really know the truth about any part of his life. People believe what they want to believe! I believe that this man was a legend and not only is he a loss to the music world but a loss to the world itself. He was an extraordinary and talented man! Farewell MJ

    wanna hear something messed up? my name is Billie Jean and since this song has come out the first question people ask me is if I know Michael Jackson. I was 9yrs old when this song came out and to this day I am teased. People sing this freaking song to me like I'm the one he was talking about. Like my kids belong to him. ugh!!! I never dated "brothers" anyway. I hate this song. But I like it too. I just wish it wasn't such a negative song!!!

    PLEASE READ: I have MJJ's autobiography. It simply states that the experience that he talks about in his song has happened to some of his brothers. Not Michael, but maybe Jackie, Randy, Tito, Jermaine, or Marlon. Also, this song is not innapropriate - he is expressing his feelings and that's what songs are for. DUH!!! Whoever thinks he's ugly or gross or a criminal is stupid. Get a life! You have no right to criticise this poor man who has been accused of so many things.luv u michael :') ill miss u in heaven!btw my username is cvandy

    Great song! It is probably true about many artists facing accusations. I would be happy if some of the posters on here knew how to talk and how to write. I wonder sometimes what is happening to people who do not know how to speak & write properly! Do you plan on being a dumbass all your life?Cindy from Oklahoma

    Regardless of who the song is about (if anyone) it is a song. Inappropriate? No! Artists write many songs that pertain to their life, but that does in no way mean every song they write. For instance the Beatle's song 'A Day in the Life' was written about an article in the newspaper. A person could over hear someone talking and go home and write a song. You have no way of knowing no matter where you heard the RUMORS from. There are so many songs with truly bad content but they are out there. Remember people we are supposed to live in a free country with freedom of speach!
