Billie Jean

Chris Cornell Chris Cornell

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen
Said don't mind, but what do you mean
I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
She says I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round

She said her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
And every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
Momma always told me be careful who you love
Be careful what you do before the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says 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

For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
Who could stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
Cause we dance on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice and remember to always think twice
Do think twice

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

People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
Then she stood right by me
The smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
When she called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says 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

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says 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

So take my strong advice and remember to always think twice
Do think twice
