"Billie Jean" lyrics - CHRIS CORNELL

She was more like a beauty queen
From a movie screen
I said, "Don't mind but what do you mean
I am the one
Who would dance on the floor in the round?"
She says I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

She said her name was Billie Jean
And she caused a scene
Every head turned with eyes that dreamed
Of being the one
Who would dance on the floor in the round

People always told me
"Be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
Mother always told me
"Be careful who you love
Be careful what you do before the lie becomes the truth"

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says 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

For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
Who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and her plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice
And remember to always think twice
Do think twice

She told my baby that we danced 'til three
And she looked at me
Showed a photo, my baby cried
His eyes were like mine
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

People always told me
"Be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
Then she stood right by me
The smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
When she called me to her room
Yeah

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says 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

Yeah

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says 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
So take my strong advice
And remember to always think twice
Do think twice
