Am I mishearing the lyrics of Billie Jean?

I always heard and sang Billie Jean like so: "the Billie Jean is not my lover".

Am I crazy for that? Am I the only one?

Does MJ really say a really distinct "THE" before "Billie Jean" or am I hearing things?

Also, when he says the "Kid is not my son" I always heard the "K" to be quite aspirated, like:

"the k[hh]id is not my son", almost as if he's saying "tshid".

I'm genuinely curious to see if anyone has remotely noticed this.

If those are his pronunciation quirks, then I find them really amusing.
