The short film to Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song,” his best-selling single in the United Kingdom, earned Michael the Doris Day Music Award from the Humane Society’s Genesis Awards. The urgent need to address the issues facing the planet and all that inhabit it were on the forefront of Michael’s mind when he created this song and short film; issues that are even more urgent today.
Chorus:
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin how funky and strong is your fight
It doesnt matter whos wrong or right
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it, uh)
Chorus:
It seems you dont know, we reached the higher mountain
Every time I seem to disappear
And together we will fly, well dance up in the heavens
I can really feel it when youre near, ooh

Jenny, darling, you’re my best friend
But there’s a few things that you don’t know of
Why I borrow your lipstick so often
I’m using your shirt as a pillow case
I wanna ruin our friendship
We should be lovers instead
I don’t know how to say this
’cause you’re really my dearest friend
Jenny, darling, you’re my best friend
I’ve been doing bad things that you don’t know about
stealing your stuff now and then
Nothing you’d miss, but it means the world to me
I wanna ruin our friendship
We should be lovers instead
I don’t know how to say this
’cause you’re really my dearest friend
Jenny take my hand
’Cause we are more than friends
I will follow you until the end
Jenny take my hand
I cannot pretend
Why I never like your new boyfriends
Oh, your love for them wont last long
Forget those amigos
Oh, your love for them wont last long
Forget those amigos
Forget those amigos
I wanna ruin our friendship
We should be lovers instead
I don’t know how to say this
’cause you’re really my dearest friend…
