[E]
[Em]
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen
She said, don't mind, but what do you mean?
I [A] am the one [Am] who will dance on the floor [E] and around
[Em] She says, I [Am]
am the one who will dance on the floor [C] and around
[G] [Em]
She said her name was Billie Jean, she caused a scene
And every head turn with eyes, the dream of [A] being the [Am] one
Who will dance on the floor [E]
and [Em] around
People [C]
always told [Em] me, be careful what you do
[C] Don't go out breaking young [Em] girls heart
[C] Mama always told [Em] me, be careful who you love
[C]
Be careful what you do, before [B] the lie becomes the truth
[E]
[Am] Billie Jean [E] is not my love
[Am] She's just a girl, [E]
who says [Em] she's better than [Am]
[D] everyone
But [C] the kid [D] is not my [E]
son
[Em] She says [Am] I [D] am the one, [Am] but the [D] kid is not my [E]
son
[Em] Forty days, forty nights, the law was on her side
Who could stand when she's in the man, her [A] schemes and her [Am] plan
Cause she danced on the floor [E] and around
[Em] So take my [Am] strong advice, remember to [C] always think twice Think [G] twice
[Em] Told my baby that we'd dance till three, she [E] looked at me
[Em] Should have followed my baby crying, his [A] eyes were like mine
Cause we danced [Am] [Em] on the floor and around
People [C]
always told [E] me, be careful [Em] what you do
[C] Don't go out breaking young girls [E]
heart
[Em] [C]
Then she stood right by me, [E]
smelled that [Em] sweet perfume
[C]
Said come not too soon, [B] she called me too
[E]
[Am] Billie Jean [Em] is not my [E] love
[A] She's just a [E] girl, who [Em] says she's better [A]
[D] [C] than everyone
But the [D] kid is not my [Em]
son
She says I [Am]
[D] [Am] am the one, but the kid [F#m] is [E]
