BILLIE JEAN - MICHAEL JACKSON

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)
