“Billie Jean" is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson, released by Epic Records on January 2, 1983 as the second single from his sixth studio album, Thriller (1982). It was written and composed by Jackson, and produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones. The song's spare, bass-driven arrangement helped pioneer what one critic called "sleek, post-soul pop music". It also introduced a more paranoid lyrical style for Jackson, a trademark of his later music. Read more on Last.fm.

[Intro]
Hey, hey, baby, i want to know
If you'll be my girl
Hey, hey, baby, i want to know
If you'll be my girl
[Verse]
When i saw you walking down the street
I said, that's the kind of girl i just like to meet
She's so pretty, lord, she's so fine
I'm going to make her mine, mine
[Chorus][2x]
I said, hey, hey, baby, i want to know
If you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away
That's when i want to say
Come on, baby, give me a whirl
I want to know if you'll be my girl
[Outro]
I said, "hey, hey, baby, - hey, baby!
I wanna know if you'll be my girl
All right, be my girl
Let me hear it one time, boys!
Hey, (hey, hey) hey baby, i wanna know
If you'll be my girl
Hey, (hey, hey) hey baby, i wanna know
If you'll be my girl
Hey, (hey) all right, oh!
Hey, hey, baby, i want to know
If you'll be my girl
Hey, hey, baby, i want to know
If you'll be my girl
[Verse]
When i saw you walking down the street
I said, that's the kind of girl i just like to meet
She's so pretty, lord, she's so fine
I'm going to make her mine, mine
[Chorus][2x]
I said, hey, hey, baby, i want to know
If you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away
That's when i want to say
Come on, baby, give me a whirl
I want to know if you'll be my girl
[Outro]
I said, "hey, hey, baby, - hey, baby!
I wanna know if you'll be my girl
All right, be my girl
Let me hear it one time, boys!
Hey, (hey, hey) hey baby, i wanna know
If you'll be my girl
Hey, (hey, hey) hey baby, i wanna know
If you'll be my girl
Hey, (hey) all right, oh!
