[Intro] Bm7(9) Bm7(9)/F# Bm7(9)
Bm7(9)
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
Bm7(9)
I said don`t mind but what do you mean
Bm7(9) Em7
I am the one
Bm7(9)
Who will dance on the floor in the round?
Bm7(9) Em7
She said I am the one
Bm7(9)
Who will dance on the floor in the round?
Bm7(9)
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Bm7(9)
Then ev`ry head turned with eyes that dreamed
Bm7(9) Em7
Of being the one
Em7 Bm7(9)
Who will dance on the floor in the round
Em7 Bm7(9)
People always told me, be careful what you do
Em7 Bm7(9)
And don`t go around breaking young girls' hearts
Em7 Bm7(9)
And mother always told me, be careful who you love
G7M
Bbº
And be careful what you do, `cause the lie becomes the truth, hey
{Start_of_chorus}
Bm7(9)
Billie Jean is not my lover
Bm7(9) Em7
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
Em7 Bm7(9)
But the kid is not my son
Bm7(9) Em7
She says I am the one
Em7 Bm7(9)
But the kid is not my son
{End_of_chorus}
For forty days and forty nights, law was on her side
But who can stand when she`s in demand
Her scemes and plans
`Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice: Just remember to always think twice
She told my baby we danced till three, and she looked at me
Then showed a photo. My baby cried
His eyes were like mine
Can we dance on the floor in the round?
Em7 Bm7(9)
People always told me, be careful what you do
Em7 Bm7(9)
And don`t go around breaking young girls' hearts
Em7 Bm7(9)
But you came and stood right by me, just a smell of sweet perfume
G7M
Bbº
This happened much too soon. She called me to her room, hey
G7M E7 Bm7(9)
Ah, look at all the lonely people
G7M E7 Bm7(9)
Ah, look at all the lonely people
