Billie Jean Michael Jackson lyrics
Original Lyrics
English
[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]
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

[Estrofa 1]
Ella parecía más bien una reina de belleza sacada de una escena de película, eh
Yo le dije: "Disculpa, pero ¿a qué te refieres con que yo soy el elegido?
¿El que bailará en la pista circular?"
Ella dijo: "Tú eres el elegido
¿El que bailará en la pista circular?"
Me dijo que se llamaba Billie Jean mientras armaba un alboroto
Entonces todas las cabezas se giraron, con ojos que soñaban con ser el elegido, eh
¿El que bailará en la pista circular?
[Pre-Estribillo]
La gente siempre me decía: "Ten cuidado con lo que haces", eh
"Y no vayas por ahí rompiendo los corazones de las chicas jóvenes" (Hee-hee)
Y mi madre siempre me decía: "Ten cuidado con a quién amas
Y ten cuidado con lo que haces (Oh, oh)
Porque la mentira se convierte en verdad" (Oh, oh), hey
[Estribillo]
Billie Jean no es mi amante, eh
Es solo una chica que afirma que yo soy el elegido (Oh, nena)
Pero el niño no es mi hijo (Woo)
Eh, ella dice que yo soy el elegido (Oh, nena)
Pero el niño no es mi hijo (Hee-hee-hee; no, no)

[Estrofa 2]
Durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, la ley estuvo de su lado
Pero, ¿quién puede hacerle frente cuando ella es tan solicitada? Sus intrigas y planes
Porque bailamos en la pista circular (Hee, uh, uh)
Así que acepta mi firme consejo:
Recuerda siempre pensártelo dos veces (No te lo pienses dos veces)
Sí, piénsatelo dos veces (A-hoo)
Le dijo a mi chica que bailamos hasta las tres; luego me miró a mí
Y me mostró la foto de un bebé llorando; sus ojos eran como los míos (Oh no)
Porque bailamos en la pista circular, nena (Ooh, hee-hee-hee)
[Pre-Estribillo]
La gente siempre me decía: "Ten cuidado con lo que haces", uh
"Y no vayas por ahí rompiendo corazones de chicas jóvenes" (No rompas corazones; hee-hee)
Pero ella se acercó y se paró justo a mi lado
Solo con el aroma de su dulce perfume (Ha-oh)
Todo esto sucedió demasiado pronto (Ha-oh, ha-ooh)
Me llamó a su habitación (Ha-oh, hoo), hey
[Estribillo]
