Billie Jean is not your lover

I got a baritone ukulele back from a friend that was moving (it needs a foster home), and I have been thinking about this song that I like to play on the uke so I decided to fire up Garageband to play this on the baritone uke. When I started singing, I found that it was odd because it's told from a man's perspective. So I've altered it a bit and I think it works well.

The question I pose to everyone is, while MJ was dancing on lit sidewalks, did you ever think about poor Billie Jean? I know it's not a real story but I'm just sayin', someone has to love that little baby and take care of it and that person was Billie Jean.

Thank's for a good song MJ. Altered lyrics are below.

Billie Jean (woman's perspective) on ukulele by iloveuke


Billie Jean

It's not like I am a beauty queen from a movie scene
He said don't mind, but who do you mean that I am the one
Who should dance on the floor in the round
I said you the one who should dance on the floor in the round

I told him my name was Billie Jean, and he caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that gleamed of being the one
Who would dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking your own heart
And mother always told me be careful who you love
Be careful what you do 'cause his lies are never true

Billie Jean is not your lover
I'm just a girl who knows that you are the one
and the kid is your own blood
I say you are the one, the kid your own son

For forty days and forty nights
The law was on his side
But who can stand a baby's demand
this is no 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)

I told my baby we'd danced 'till three
Then he looked at me
I showed a photo of a baby cryin'
who's eyes are divine
Come on dance on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around breaking your own heart
I came and stood right by him
with the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
He called me to his room

Billie Jean is not your lover
I'm just a girl who knows that you are the one
and the kid is your son

Billie Jean is not your lover
I'm just a girl who claims that you are the one
and the kid is your own blood
I say you are the one, the kid your own son

My name's Billie and you're breakin' my heart ya
Billie Jean is not your lover
Billie Jean is not your lover
Billie Jean is not your lover
Billie Jean is not your lover
