Em She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen Am I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one Em Who will dance on the floor in the round Am C C - Dadd4add9 She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round Em She said her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene Am Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Em Who will dance on the floor and round

Pre-chorus

C Em People always told me be careful of what you do C Em Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts C Em And mother always told me be careful of who you love C B7 And be careful of what you do before the lie becomes the truth

Chorus

Em Am Em Billie Jean is not my lover Am Em She's just a girl Am Bmadd11/A Who says that I am the one C/A D/A Em But the kid is not my son Am Bmadd11/A She says I am the one C/A D/A Em Eadd#11 (no3) But the kid is not my son

Verse 2

Em For forty days and for forty nights the law was on her side Am But who can stand when she's in demand her schemes and plans Em 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round Am C Dadd4add9 So take my strong advice and remember to always think twice (do think twice)

Verse 3

Em She told my baby that we'd danced till three, then she looked at me Am Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine Em 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

Pre-chorus
