Michael Jackson – Billie Jean lyrics

Michael Jackson – Billie Jean lyrics

[1st verse]
She was more like 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 what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful who you love
Be careful 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 of a baby cryin'
His eyes were like mine
Come on dance on the floor in the round, baby

[Bridge:]
People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
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

[Outro]
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

Whether Mickey wanted to be white or not, he is. He is messed up in more ways than his skin tone. I honestly think he tried something (no clue of what) and it caused a complexion change. He then had to make his entire body like that. There is no basis for my opinion, but I don't think it's a disease and I don't think he had pure intentions of being white. I know he had many childhood problems and he tried to relive the perfect childhood as an adult. He has mental scars and will always have them. You can only pray for him.
About the song, I love it! The bass line is perfect. The music as a whole is indistinguishable. It's about a girl who is pregnant and she causes a scene claiming Michael is the father. I don't think it ever confirms he is the father, but the kid does look like him. What do you think? Was the singer the father, or was the girl setting him up?

I still can't get over the fact he's dead. I have this wall in my room that's filled with pictures of him and quotes from his songs and all that and then he's the only singer I listen to while I am in the shower and mowing the lawn or doing chores. I always find myself singing his songs and then my parents point it out to me and I feel like crying cuz I miss him so much. I was gonna go see a concert too and he had to die. =( I miss him sooo much (and I miss his moonwalk just as much) and yeah, this song is so great just like him. Rip Michael!

Did someone ever knew that michael was prone to cold? That's why you see his voice was sometimes, uhhh, I can't describe it was kind of "light" and soft or sometimes too "strong" enough. You'll also see at his music vids. Or concerts that he rubs his nose when he has a cold.
One more fact, michael's fingers were covered in band aid to protect it from injury because his belts were all made of metal and when he dances, it always touches the belt.

For anyone here who likes more mj facts, I got more for you!
Did someone know here who Diana Ross is? For those who know here, yes you're right! She's a part of Motown too, Just like mj. When mj entered Motown, He was about 12 years old then and Diana Was about 15. But here's the real fact, when mj entered Motown, he had a crush on Diana ross! When they worked together on some kind of show, mj did nothing but to get Diana's attention on him! Ever since then, mj and Diana were the best of friends! That's why when mj died, Diana Cried so hard because she lost her best friend. :-(

I actually know what really happened in this song. Mj is not the father of ther female fan's son. Well, I'm not sure if she really showed the baby's photo to mj. Michael suffered nightmares after maybe a year. Because this female fan (a. K. A. Billie Jean) sent a letter to mj. It was actually a letter and a gun.
Then the Jacksons just knew that Billie Jean was sent to a psychiatrist hospital. In other words, Billie Jean is setting mj up. Or, Billie Jean is crazy or had complications in herself.
