Billie Jean Lyrics - Between The Bars - The Civil Wars

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene 

I said, "Don't mind me but what do you mean 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 as she caused a scene 

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one 

Who will dance on the floor in a round 

People always told me, "Be careful of what you do 

Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts", no 

And mama always told me, "Be careful of who you love 

Be careful of what you do, the lie becomes the truth" 

Billie Jean is not my lover 

She's just a girl who claims 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, law was on her side 

But who can stand when she's in demand, her schemes and plans 

Because we danced on the floor in the round 

So take my strong advice 

Just remember to always think twice 

Oh think twice 

She told my baby, we danced till three 

Then she looked at me, then showed a photo 

My baby cried, his eyes were like mine, oh no 

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round 

People always told me, "Be careful of what you do, ooo 

Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts", no 

But she came and stood right by me with a smell of sweet perfume 

It happened much too soon, she called me to her room, and 

Billie Jean is not my lover 

She's just a girl who claims 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 Billie Jean is not my lover (she just a girl) 

Billie Jean is not my lover (she just a girl) 

Billie Jean is not my lover 

Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm
