11
I'm the one But the kid is not my son She says I'm the one
12
But the kid is not my son For forty days and forty nights I was on the side
13
But who can stand when he's in Japan Her seeds and the lands Go and dance, go and blow it round
14
Something my strong advice
15
Just remember to always think twice Don't think twice She told my baby to dance to three
16
And she looked at me
17
And showed a photo of my baby Pride eyes wouldn't like mine Go and dance on the floor in the round, baby?
18
People always told me, be careful what you do
19
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts But you came and stood right by me Cause I smell the sweet perfume
20
This happened soon, she told me too The bitter cheese,
21
not my love She's just a girl,
22
but I am the one But the kid is not my son The bitter cheese,
23
not my love She's just a girl,
24
but I am the one But the kid is not my son She said I'm the one
25
But I can't even love my son
26

28
I'm the one, but the chance who had my son That little change,

that my love, she's just a girl
30
Cause I am the one who tells me baby She says I am the one She says I am the one
31
She says I am the one She know what she did She said she was breaking my heart,
32
babe She says I am the one who tells me baby Not your love,

Start by listening to the video multiple times to familiarize yourself with the lyrics and melody. As you gain comfort, try to shadow exactly what you hear—this means speaking along with the video.

To improve English pronunciation through shadow speech, focus on the intonation and rhythm of the lyrics. Pay attention to Michael Jackson's vocal inflections and try to replicate them. If the pace is too fast, pause the video, practice a few lines, and then gradually work your way to keeping up with the full rhythm. Utilize a slow playback feature if necessary, and repeat this exercise until you feel confident in your delivery. Regular practice will help you internalize the vocabulary and enhance your overall speaking abilities.

By combining these techniques with fun and engaging content like this song, you not only make your learning experience enjoyable but also significantly improve your English speaking and pronunciation skills.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
