    I feel like Weezer just made all these covers so we can die in peace knowing the real lyrics.

    I've read a lot of hate for this album but honestly, this album was pretty darn good. Not every musical experience has to give you a revealing experience and change the landscape of music. It's nice to have an album of great songs albeit cover versions of those songs. Some people expect too much and when they don't get it, they don't want to show any appreciation for fine musical talent.

    I didn't understand this album at first. But then I "got it". It's a cover album all about good songwriting in mainstream popular music. It's Weezer saying: "These folks did it in the 80's and 90's, and we respected them for it. Here's our tribute to them. We're still trying to do the same, why aren't the rest of you?" Brilliant idea for an album, in my opinion.

      You're allowed not to like it; people are allowed TO like it. And Weezer, quite obviously, was given legal permission to do it. So you don't "need" to feel any way about it at all. I like both. I like both because I like the song, and I also like Weezer's sound, and I like the two together.

    "Billie Jean"
    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, "A-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 for forty nights
    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 of a baby cry
    His eyes looked like mine, oh, no
    Do a dance on the floor in the round, baby
    A-people always told me, "Be careful of what you do
    And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts."
    (Don't break no heart.)
    A-but she came and stood right by me
    And just the smell of sweet perfume
    And this happened much too soon
    And 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
    (No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.)
    Billie Jean is not my lover
    She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

    She says I am the one (No, babe.)
    But the kid is not my son, no, no, no
    She says I am the one
    You know what you did
    She says he is my son

    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
    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"
    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
    'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
    So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
    (Don't think twice) Don't think twice! (hoo)
    She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me
    Then showed a photo my baby crying, his eyes were like mine (oh no)
    So 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"
    But she came and stood right by me
    And just smell the 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
    Billie Jean is not my lover
    Billie Jean is (Don't call me, Billie Jean)
    Billie Jean is not my lover
    Billie Jean is
