Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks in the chorus of “Beat It” based on the actual lyrics.
The chorus says:
> Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
> No one _______ to be defeated
> Showin’ how funky strong is your fight
> It doesn’t _______ who’s wrong or right
> Just beat it, beat it [4x]
We need to find the correct words that fit grammatically and match the real song lyrics.

First blank: “No one _______ to be defeated”
Think about what makes sense here. The line is saying nobody *wants* to lose — they all want to win. In the actual song, Michael Jackson sings:
> “No one
wants to be defeated”
That fits perfectly — “wants” is present tense, matches “no one” (singular), and makes logical sense.
Also, looking at other lines in the worksheet, like “Don’t wanna see no blood”, we see “wanna” = “want to”. So “wants” is consistent with the language used.
✔ First blank →
wants

Second blank: “It doesn’t _______ who’s wrong or right”
This line means: when you’re fighting or showing strength, it doesn’t matter who started it or who’s morally right — just show your power.
In the actual song, the lyric is:
> “It doesn’t
matter who’s wrong or right”
“Matter” fits perfectly — “doesn’t matter” is a common phrase meaning “it’s not important”.
Also, check grammar: “It doesn’t ___” needs a verb. “Matter” is a verb here. Perfect.
✔ Second blank →
matter

Now let’s double-check with the full chorus from the real song (which this worksheet is based on):
> Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
> No one wants to be defeated
> Showin’ how funky strong is your fight
> It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
> Just beat it, beat it...
Yes — matches exactly.
