 AI said, "oh mama, what do Eyou mean I am tF#mhe one?"A  
   EShe said F#mI am the onAeE  F#m  
AShe told me her name was BiEllie Jean, as she caF#mused a scene
 AThen every head turned with Eeyes that dreamed of F#mbeing the onAe
Go and dEance on the fF#mloor in the rAoundE  F#m  
[Pre-Chorus]
And the peBople always told me, be caAreful what you do
And don't you C#mgo around breaking young girls' hBearts
My mF#mother always told me, be caAreful who you love
And be C#mcareful what you do cause a lG#ie becomes a truth
[Chorus]
EAnd Billie Jean G#mis noC#mt my loveBr
 AShe's just a gBirl who thAinks that E/G#I am the F#mone
But the Ekid is not my Ason

But the kid is not my son
[Post-Chorus - Instrumental]

C#mFor forty days and for forty nights            
The law was on her side
C#mBut who can stand when she's in demand?
Her schemes and AplansE/G#  
 ASo take mBy strong Aadvice
BDon't think twice
C#mShe told me baby we'd danced 'til three
Then she looked at me
She showed me a photo of a baby crying
His eyes looked like mF#mineE  
Go and dAance on the fEloor in the rounAdB

And she C#msmelled of sweet peDrfume
And this Ahappened much too soon
And she G#brought me to her room
