VERSE
F#m (BASS LINE: |F# C# E F# E C# B C# |)
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
                                                 Bm  (BASS LINE: | B F# A B A F# E F# |)
I said, "Dont mind but what do you mean I am the one
                                   F#m
Who will dance on the floor in the round?"
                    Bm                                     F#m     
She said, "I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round"

She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
                                                           Bm
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
                                   F#m
Who will dance on the floor in the round

PRE-CHORUS:
D                          F#m
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
    D                                   F#m  
And dont go around breaking young girls hearts"
    D                          F#m
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
       D                                C#7
And be careful of what you do cause the lie becomes the truth"

CHORUS:
F#m
Billie Jean is not my lover
                                          Bm
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
                      F#m
But the kid is not my son
                  Bm                        F#m
She says I am the one but the kid is not my son

VERSE 2:
(Synths: | C# | - D# B | C# |)
F#m 
For forty days and forty nights, law was on her side
                              (Synths: B   A           F#)
                                                       Bm
But who can stand when shes in demand, her schemes and plans
                                    F#m
Cause we danced on the floor in the round
                    Bm                                  F#m
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice

Do think twice, do think twice
(Synths: | C# | - D# B | C# |)
F#m 
She told my baby, we were dancing still three then she looked at me
                                   (Synths: B    A         F#)
                                                           Bm
Then showed a photo my baby cried cause his eyes were like mine, oh no
                                     F#m
Though wed dance on the floor in the round, baby

PRE-CHORUS:
D                          F#m
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
          D                             F#m
And dont go around breaking young girls hearts"
        D                                   F#m
But she came and stood right by me then the smell of sweet perfume
     D                           C#7
This happened much too soon; she called me to her room
