BILLIE JEAN (as played by Caetano Veloso) [Verse 1]

Dmaj9
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said don`t mind but what do you mean,

         Em9
I am the one

                                   Dmaj9
Who will dance on the floor in the round?

                  Em9
She said I am the one

                                   Dmaj9
Who will dance on the floor in the round?

[Verse 2]

Dmaj9
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene.

Then ev`ry head turned with eyes that dreamed

             Em9
Of being the one,

                                   Dmaj9
Who will dance on the floor in the round

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm7                       Dmaj9
People always told me, be careful what you do

          Bm7                                   Dmaj9
And don`t go around breaking young girls' hearts

    Bm7                       Dmaj9
And mother always told me, be careful who you love,

       Gmaj7                           F#7
And be careful what you do, `cause the lie becomes the truth, hey

[Chorus]

Bm7
Billie Jean is not my lover,

                                           Em9
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

                      Bm7
But the kid is not my son

                  Em9
She says I am the one,

                      Bm7
But the kid is not my son

[Verse 3]

Dmaj9
For forty days and forty nights, law was on her side

But who can stand when she`s in demand,

               Em9
Her scenes and plans

                                     Dmaj9
`Cause we danced on the floor in the round.

                          Em9                           Dmaj9
So take my strong advice: Just remember to always think twice

[Verse 4]

Dmaj9
She told my baby we danced till three, and she looked at me,

Then showed a photo. My baby cried.

                        Em9
His eyes were like mine

                                       Dmaj9
Can we dance on the floor in the round?

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm7                       Dmaj9
People always told me, be careful what you do

          Bm7                                   Dmaj9
And don`t go around breaking young girls' hearts

    Bm7                       Dmaj9
And mother always told me, be careful who you love,

       Gmaj7                           F#7
And be careful what you do, `cause the lie becomes the truth, hey

[Chorus] x2

Bm7
Billie Jean is not my lover,

                                           Em9
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

                      Bm7
But the kid is not my son

                  Em9
She says I am the one,

                      Bm7
But the kid is not my son

[Outro]

E9                       Bm7
I look at all the lonely people (repeat and fade)
