Lyrics for Beat It (Michael Jackson cover) as interpreted by iheartyoubaby

Beat It (Michael Jackson cover) Lyrics
[Featuring John Mayer]

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Show 'em how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You got to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life
This ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Show 'em how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)

Beat it [22x]

Beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Show 'em how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Show 'em how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Show 'em how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)

Beat it [8x]

john mayer is playing the guitar! i saw them do this last may, and i have it on video on my youtube, it was pretty awesome. but john mayer wasn't there...that would've been a lot cooler. anyways, patrick's voice is amazing in this, but his voice is always amazing! he's my favorite. : D

It's such an awesome cover. The guitar riffs in this make it even better. Stump at his usual best.

I think this song is about beating the people telling you that you're wrong and keep doing what you think is right, going your own way and leaving the world.

freaking awesome cover. i actually like it better than the original, which is impressive since Michael Jackson music is my guilty pleasure and this is one of my favorites of his.

I couldn't believe that Fall Out Boy redid this song..It is amazing and I agree I like it better than Michael's who is also my guilty pleasure..I love the guitar in the very beginning..Patrick is truely amazing!! I don't know why everyone thinks Pete is so much better..Don't get me wrong he is awesome but nothing compared to Patrick if you ask me...

Wow, these emo faggots have sprayed shit all over this song. There are some songs that shouldn't be remade. This is one of them. Fuck Fall Out Boy, they suck.

I think it's actually pretty good. I'd say about 20% of the reason I like it is because of the actual song, and the other 80% is their costumes in the video :) Ya gotta love Pete's hair. Patrick's voice is really great in this song, and The guitar is amazing.

Tronnit, what is your problem? Does it make you feel better about yourself by degrading other people's choices? Its their choice if they remake it, and its your choice whether you listen to it. So you can have your shit music, and we can have our awesomeness of FOB. M'kay?

Anyway, back to the song.
I think that Patricks voice it really well suited to this song. John Mayer's solo shows how absolutely brilliant he is. I'm a fall out boy fan and I don't really listen to MJ... I was suprised cause I didn't know :P

This song is about like when you are in bad things like fighting for example instead of getting hurt like you 'beat it' as in saying go away and avoid the situation all together.
