[Em]
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen
Said don't mind but what do you mean?
I [Am] am the one who would dance on the floor [Em] and around
She said [Am] I am the one who would dance on the floor
[C] and around
She
[G] [E] [Em]
said her name was Billie Jean and she caused a scene
But all her heads turned with eyes that dreamed of [A] being the one
[Am] Who would dance on the floor [E] and around
[Em]
[C]
People always told [Em] me be careful what you do
[C] Don't go around breaking young girls' [Em] hearts
[C] Mama always told me [Em]
be careful who you love
[C]
Careful what you [Em] do before [B] the lie, lie becomes the [Em] truth
Billie [Am] Jean [Em]
is not my lover
She's [Am] just a [Em] girl who says that I [Am] [Bm] am the one
[Am] But the kid is not my [Em]
son
[Dm] She says [Am] I am the [Bm] one [Am] but the kid [D] is not my [Em] son
For forty days and forty nights the law was on her side
Who can stand when she's in demand, her schemes [Am] and her plans
Cause we danced on the floor [E] and around
[Em] So take my [Am] strong advice
Remember to always [C] think twice
Do think twice
She [E]
told my [Em] baby that we danced till three and she looked at me
She showed her photo, my baby cried his eyes were [A] like [Am] [A] mine
[Am] Cause we danced on the [Em] floor and around
[C] People always told [Em] me be careful what you do
[C] Don't go around breaking young [Em] girls' hearts
[C] She stood right by [Em] me, the smell of sweet perfume
[C]
It happened much too [Em] soon
[B] She called me to her room
[Em] Billie
[Am] Jean [Em] is not my lover
She's [Am] just a girl [Em] who says that I [Am]
am the [Bm] one
[Am] But the kid [A] is not my [Em] son
She [Am] says I am the [A] one [Bm]
but the kid is not my [Em] son
[E] So [Em]
take my [Am] strong advice
[Bm]
[Am] And remember [D] to [Em] always think [E] twice
Do think [C] twice
[N]
