Verse:
She was more like a 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 (Here we go again)
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 being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

Bridge:
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of 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
She says I am the one

And we dance on the floor in the round (She says I am the one)
And we dance on the floor in the round

Chuck D:
Bass, How low can you go?
Death row, what a brother know
Once again, back is the incredible
The rhyme animal
The incredible D, Public Enemy number one
Five-O said, "Freeze!" and I got numb
Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun?
But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun
Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records, they sell
'Cause a brother like me said, "Well, Frarrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
What he can say to you, what you ought to do is
Follow for now, power of the people, say,
"Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical"
Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Check it out, yeah y'all c'mon, here we go again


Bridge:
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
So she came and stood right by me
Then 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
