Intro
Tava jogando sinuca
I was playing pool
Uma nega maluca me apareceu
A crazy denial appeared to me
Vinha com um filho no colo
She came with a son on her lap
E dizia pro povo que o filho era meu
And i'd tell the people that the son was mine
Verse 1
She's more like a beauty queen
She's more like a beauty queen
From a movie screen
From a movie screen
I said: 'don't mind, but what do mean, i am the one
I said: 'don't mind, but what do mean, i am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round!'
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 said: 'i am the one who will dance on the floor in the round!'
She told me her name was billie jean
She told me her name was billie jean
As she caused a scene
As she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes
Then every head turned with eyes
That dreamed of being the one
That dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me: 'be careful of what you do
People always told me: 'be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts!'
And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts!'
And mother always told me: 'be careful of who you love
And mother always told me: 'be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth!'
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth!'
Billie jean is not my lover
Billie jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that i am the one
She's just a girl who claims that i am the one
But the kid is not my son
But the kid is not my son
She says i am the one
She says i am the one
But the kid is not my son
But the kid is not my son
Verse 2
For forty days and forty nights
For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
Her schemes and plans
'cause we danced on the floor in round
'cause we danced on the floor in round
So take my strong advice
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
Just remember to always think twice
She told my baby that's a threat
She told my baby that's a threat
As she looked at me
As she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby cries
Then showed a photo of a baby cries
Eyes would like mine
Eyes would like mine
Go on dance on the floor in the around baby
Go on dance on the floor in the around baby
People always told me: 'be careful of what you do
People always told me: 'be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts!'
And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts!'
She came and stood right by me
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
Then the smell of sweet perfume
That happened much too soon
That happened much too soon
She called me to her room
She called me to her room
Billie jean is not my lover
Billie jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that i am the one
She's just a girl who claims that i am the one
But the kid is not my son
But the kid is not my son
She's just a girl who claims that i am the one
She's just a girl who claims that i am the one
But the kid is not my son
But the kid is not my son
Look at all the lonely people

Look at all the lonely people
Look at all the lonely people
Look at all the lonely people
Look at all the lonely people
Look at all the lonely people
