Billie Jean
Trash Pour 4 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me
Be careful what you do
And don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me,
Be careful who you love
Be careful what you do
'Cause 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 her child 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 plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice

She told my baby
We’d danced ‘til three
Then she looked at me
Then showed a photo
My baby cried
His eyes were like mine
'cause we danced 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

She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume




This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Line by Line Meaning

She was more like a beauty queen
She had the beauty and grace of a queen


From a movie scene
She seemed like a character from a movie


I said, don't mind
I tried to play it cool


But what do you mean
But I was curious to know more


I am the one
I am the one who is going to dance


Who will dance on the floor in the round
Who will dance in the center of the floor


She said I am the one who will dance
She declared herself as the one who will dance


On the floor in the round
In the center of the dance floor


She told me her name was Billie Jean
She introduced herself as Billie Jean


As she caused a scene
She created a disturbance


Then every head turned with eyes
Everyone looked at her


That dreamed of being the one
Wishing to be in her place


Who will dance on the floor in the round
Who will dance in the center of the floor


People always told me
I was always warned


Be careful what you do
Be cautious of your actions


And don't go around
Don't be going


Breaking young girls' hearts
Hurting innocent girls


And mother always told me,
My mom always warned me


Be careful who you love
Be cautious of the ones you love


Cause the lie becomes the truth
Because a lie can become the truth


Billie Jean is not my lover
I am not romantically involved with Billie Jean


She's just a girl who claims that
She's simply a girl who is saying that


I am the one
I am the one who is supposed to dance


But the kid is not my son
But I am not the father of the child


She says I am the one
She persists that I am the chosen one


But her child is not my son
But I am not the father of her child


For forty days and forty nights
For a long time


The law was on her side
The law favored her


But who can stand
But who can resist


When she's in demand
When she's popular


Her schemes and plans
Her cunning plans


Cause we danced on the floor in the round
Because we danced together in the center of the floor


So take my strong advice
So I advise you seriously


Just remember to always think twice
Remember to be careful before making decisions


She told my baby
She told my lover


We’d danced ‘til three
We danced until very late


Then she looked at me
And then she stared at me


Then showed a photo
Then she displayed a photo


My baby cried
My lover wept


His eyes were like mine
His eyes bore a resemblance to mine


Cause we danced on the floor, in the round
Because we danced together in the center of the floor


People always told me
I was always warned


Be careful of what you do
Be cautious of your actions


And don't go around
Don't be going


Breaking young girls' hearts
Hurting innocent girls


She came and stood right by me
She walked over and stood right next to me


Then the smell of sweet perfume
Then the fragrance of a sweet perfume


This happened much too soon
This all happened too quickly


She called me to her room
She invited me to her room
