Billie Jean Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene, uh
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
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of bein’ the one, uh
Who will dance on the floor in the round
[Pre-Chorus]
People always told me, “Be careful of what you do,” uh
“And don’t go around breakin’ young girls’ hearts” (Hee-hee)
And mother always told me, “Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do (Oh, oh)
‘Cause the lie becomes the truth” (Oh, oh), hey
[Chorus]
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one (Oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (Woo)
Uh, she says I am the one (Oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (Hee-hee-hee; no, no)
(Hee-hee-hee, woo)
[Verse 2]
For forty days and for 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 (Hee, uh, uh)
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice (Don’t think twice)
Do think twice (A-hoo)
She told my baby we danced ’til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby cryin’, his eyes were like mine (Oh no)
‘Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby (Ooh, hee-hee-hee)
[Pre-Chorus]
People always told me, “Be careful of what you do,” uh
“And don’t go around breakin’ young girls’ hearts” (Don’t break no hearts; hee-hee)
But she came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume (Ha-oh)
This happened much too soon (Ha-oh, ha-ooh)
She called me to her room (Ha-oh, hoo), hey
[Chorus]
Billie Jean is not my lover (Woo)
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one, uh
But the kid is not my son, uh
No-no-no, uh, no-no-no, no-no-no (Woo)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son (No, no)
She says I am the one (Oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (No, hee-hee-hee)
(Ah-hee-hee-hee)
[Interlude]
Hee, hoo
(Chicka-boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom)
[Chorus]
Uh, she says I am the one, uh
But the kid is not my son (No-no-no, woo, uh)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one (You know what you did to me, baby)
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no (No-no-no, ah), no-no-no-no (No-no-no)
She says I am the one (No, baby)
But the kid is not my son (No-no-no-no; woo, uh)
[Outro]
She says I am the one (You know what you did)
She says he is my son (Breakin’ my heart, babe)
She says I am the one
Yeah, yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (She is just a girl)
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (She is just a girl; don’t call me Billie Jean, hoo)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (She is just a girl; she’s not at the scene)
Billie Jean is not (Hee), aaow, ooh
Yeah, Billie Jean is

Song Bio of Billie Jean By Michael Jackson
Few songs have opened an album with the confidence “Billie Jean” carries. Released on November 30, 1982, as the second single from Thriller, the track marked a turning point in Michael Jackson’s career, pairing his falsetto urgency with a hypnotic, bass-driven groove crafted alongside producer Quincy Jones. The song tells the story of a man denying paternity claims made by an obsessive fan, a narrative Jackson has said drew on real encounters with fans who blurred the line between admiration and delusion. That tension between fame and its darker consequences gives the track its emotional pull, wrapped in one of pop music’s most instantly recognizable basslines.
Commercially, “Billie Jean” became a global phenomenon, topping the U.S. singles chart and cementing Jackson’s status as a solo superstar. Its iconic music video, one of the first by a Black artist to receive heavy rotation on MTV, reshaped how the industry treated music videos as cultural events. Decades later, the song remains a defining piece of Thriller’s legacy and a touchstone of 1980s pop.
