[Verse 1]
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round, yeah
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, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
But people always told me be careful of what you do
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me got be careful who you love
Be careful what you do cause the lie becomes the truth, hey

[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
Oh no, no

[Pre-Chorus]
People always told me be careful of what you do, what you do, what you do
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, hey yeah

Aloe Blacc

Aloe Blacc is a rapper/singer and ½ of the group Emanon with producer Exile. His real name is Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III. He signed to legendary hip-hop label Stone’s Throw in 2006 and released his debut Shine Through the same year. It featured mostly singing (a move away from the rapping Aloe had done in his Emanon days) and was entirely self-produced except one track which was produced by Madlib.

His second album, Good Things, propelled him to international success due to the single “I Need a Dollar” which reached #2 on the UK singles chart and was certified platinum there.

Blacc’s next success came in writing the massive Avicii hit “Wake Me Up” which went number one in most European countries as well as hitting #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Aloe released an acoustic version of the track on his third studio album, Lift Your Spirit. This album contained the massively successful song “The Man” which peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was supposedly played 108 times during the 2014 NFL draft.
