How to Understand Michael Jackson's Billie Jean Song?

I could never understand this video.

See the Video on Youtube.

I think he's saying that even though he's being called the father of Billie Jean's son, he claims that he's not. Him lighting up everything and being able to 'give life' figuratively to all these people (the homeless guy, the cat, Billie Jean, pole, trash can) shows how his star power gives him the ability to highlight things, but he doesn't wanna be associated with the negative things that come with all of that (kid, paparazzi pics)? Wait, do I really care?

Can you please open it all up to me I am so confuse? To be able to understand what Michael Jackson means or the composer behind lets make a truce. The Answer is THEY ARE ALL GIMMICKS just to have a share of our money right or correct?

See this live concert of the King of Pop.




I am intrigued, does he do some lip sync? Is he a magician?
