N.C
I said don't mind but what do you mean I am the onEm9e Who will dance on the floor Bm9in the round She said I am the oEm9ne Who will dance on the floor in the Bm9roundN.C

[Verse 2]
Bm9 For forty days and forty nights the law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand her schemes and Em9plans
On the floor in the roBm9und
So take my strong advEm9ice
Just remember to always think tBm9wice (Do think twice)

And showed a photo of a baby cry, his eyes were like Em9mine
Danced on the floorBm9 in the round
[Pre-chorus]
Yes Em9people always told me: be careful Bm9what you do
Don't Em9go around breaking young girl's Bm9hearts
She Em9came and stood right by me then the Bm9smell of sweet perfume
That haGmaj7ppened much too soon
She caF#aug7lled me to her room
[Chorus]
Bm9 Billie Jean is not my lover
N.C Em9
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my sBm9on
Bm9 Billie Jean is not my lover
N.C Em9
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my sBm9on
