Testo: Chris Cornell. Carry On. Billy Jean.

She was more like a beauty queen
from a movie screen
I said don't mind,
but what do you mean I am the one
Who would dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one
who will dance on the floor in the round

She said her name was Billie Jean,
as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed
of being the one
whoo would dance on the floor in the round

People always told me
be careful of what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
Mama always told me be careful of who you love
Be careful of what you do
before the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says 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
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and her plans
cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice,
remember to always think twice
Do think twice

She told my baby
that we danced till 3
As she looked at me
She showed a photo of my baby cries
Eyes would like mine
as we dance on the floor in the round,

People always told me
be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
and she stood right by me
the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who says 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 take my strong advice,
remember to always think twice
Do think twice
