“Billie Jean” Lyrics :

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 of what you do
And don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of 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 the kid 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
(Do think twice, do 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 (oh, no)
‘Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

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
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

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

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

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

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

She says I am the one
You know what you did, (she says he is my son) breaking my heart babe
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

“Fresh” Lyrics :

Conversation is going ’round
People talking ’bout the girl who’s come to town
Lovely lady, pretty as can be
No one knows her name she’s just a mystery
I have seen her
Maybe once or twice
One thing I can say
Ouh she’s very nice
She’s a lady
One I really want to know
Somehow I’ve got to let my feeling show
(She’s fresh, fresh) exciting
She’s so exciting to me
(She’s fresh, fresh) exciting
She’s so inviting to me, yeah
I’ve been thinking about the way you walk
Baby (ouh) I like the way you talk
Tell you something I really can’t hide
Heaven must have sent you to be by my side
Fresh and lovely (fresh)
Like a dream come true
I’ll give anything to spend the night with you
What a feeling and I can’t stop it baby
Miss frisky lady take me away
(She’s fresh, fresh) exciting
She’s so exciting to me
(She’s fresh, fresh) exciting
So inviting to me, yeah
Fresh as a summer breeze
She’ll take you by surprise
She means so much to me
I’ll do whatever
To make her mine, baby
Oh, yeah
Ooh, la la la la la, to me, she’s fresh
(She’s fresh, she’s so fresh)
(She’s fresh, she’s so fresh)
(She’s fresh, she’s so fresh)
Fresh as a summer breeze
(She’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)
(She’s fresh, she’s so fresh)
She means so much to me, yeah (she’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)
I wanna take her her hand (she’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)
And pray she’ll understand (she’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)

Cause I love the way she walks(she’s fresh, she’s so fresh)
And ooh baby I love the way she talks (she’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)
I’ve got something and I hope she’ll understand (she’s fresh, she’s so fresh)
Miss frisky lady (she’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)
(She’s fresh, she’s so fresh)
(She’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)
(She’s so fresh)
(She’s fresh, she’s so fresh)
She’s so fancy and I love that lady (she’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)

Oh how I love her so (she’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)
(She’s fresh, she’s so fresh)
(She’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)
(She’s so fresh)
(She’s fresh, she’s so fresh)
(She’s so fresh, she’s so fresh)
