Verse 1

 
F#m G#m
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene.
A B
I said, ”don’t mind, but what do you mean, I am the one
F#m
Who will dance on the floor in the round?”
 

Chorus

 
F#m G#m
Billie Jean is not my lover,
A B
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one.
F#m G#m
But the kid is not my son.
A B F#m
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son.
