Billie Jean Lyrics
I said dont 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
2nd verse
She told me her name...

Billie Jean is about a fan who was obsessed with Michael Jackson and this obsession led to her making things up in her head, such as that she is pregnant with his child, this is actually based on a real fan and she had a total obsession, even calling herself Billie Jean Jackson and claiming that she was married to Michael Jackson. She was later sent to a mental home.

I'm surprised no one has interpreted this song yet. Seriously. "Billie Jean" is, without a doubt, about a guy whose girlfriend had a baby and he's completely denying that it's his kid. She tells him it is ("She showed me a photo, my baby cried, 'cause his eyes were like mine"), but he just says no over and over again - "She says I am the one but the kid is not my son". His friends and family have said time and time again to be wary ("People always told me, be careful what you do / Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"), but regardless, here he is with an illegitimate child. In fact, the girl tries to get him arrested for this in "The law was on her side / But who can stand when she's in demand". But, again, he declares what he's been saying through the whole song: "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".
