Nega Maluca, Billie Jean... Songtext

Billie Jean
Caetano Veloso

Letratradução
Tava jogando sinuca
Uma nega maluca
Me apareceu
Vinha com um filho no colo
Dizendo pro povo
Que o filho era meu
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 what you do
- And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts
And mother always told me
- Be careful of who you love
- 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 for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand
When she's in demand her schemes and plans
On the floor in the round
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
She told
- My baby that's a threat
And she looked at me
And showed a photo
My baby cries
His eyes would like mine
Dance it on the floor in the round
(Yes) People always told me:
- Be careful of what you do
- Don't go around breaking young girl's hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
Then happened much too soon
As 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 Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
