1.- Historia
Michael Joseph (Joe) Jackson, nace el 29 de Agosto de 1959 en GARY, una población ubicada en INDIANA, USA. A los 5 años forma parte del grupo JACKSON FAMILY con 4 de sus 8 hermanos. Más tarde y tras algunos cambios, el grupo fué re-bautizado por Diana Ross como JACKSON FIVE o JACKSON 5.
"Billie Jean" es tal vez el tema más conocido de Jackson a nivel mundial. Fué catalogado por los lectores de la revista norteamericana BILLBOARD como "Mejor Canción POP" (interpretada por un vocalista masculino), de la década de los 80's. La primera vez que Michael Jackson interpretó este tema en vivo, fué en el especial "MOTOWN 25th". También fué alli donde demostró su famoso paso de baile "Moonwalk" o "Paso Lunar".

2.- Lyrics
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said, "Don't mind, 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 bein' the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
Don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts"
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do
'Cause the lie becomes the truth"
(Chorus)
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 for forty nights, law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand? Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice) do think twice
She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby cryin', his eyes were like mine
Go and dance on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
And don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts"
But she came and stood right by me
Just 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 claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no, no-no, no-no-no
(Repeat Chorus)
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
(Repeat Chorus)
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one (you know what you did)
She says he is my son (breakin' my heart, babe)
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover (x6)
