Michael Jackson Billie Jean Lyrics
"Billie Jean "
"Billie Jean" was written by Michael Jackson for his sixth album, Thriller.
This song almost didn't make it onto the Thriller album as it reflected some real life experiences surrounding a mentally ill fan who claimed Michael had fathered one of her twins.
Billie Jean was released as a single on January 2, 1983 and almost overnight became a worldwide commercial success. I instantly became one of, if not the best selling single of 1983 and topped both the UK and US Charts. This single also made mention on various other charts around the world and is today still being considered one of the most ingenious songs in recent history.
Lyrics to Billie Jean
| [1st verse] |
| |
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't 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 |
| [Bridge] |
| |
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't 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 |
| [Chorus] |
| |
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 |
| [3rd verse] |
| |
For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(do think twice) |
| [4th verse] |
| |
She told my baby we'd danced 'till three
Then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried
His eyes looked like mine
Go on dance on the floor in the round, baby |
| [Bridge] |
| |
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room |
| [Chorus] |
| |
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
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover |
