Hey Mike, if you’re listenin’

I’m callin’ home to tell you how it is

It’s real bad, it’s cold out here

It’s been a long and lonely year

(It’s been a long and lonely year)

It’s been so long



Don’t give up

Don’t give in

Don’t give up

Be my friend



Hey Mike, when the check arrives

I hope you’re gonna buy your girlfriend something nice

A fat ring, a slick new ride

Just let her know it should have been mine

(Just let her know it should have been mine)

Just let her know



Don’t give up

Don’t give in

Don’t give up

Be my friend

Don’t give up

Don’t give in



I’m ending up better for this in the end

You’ll get a letter addressed to a friend

A friend who’s like no friend that I’ve ever known

When this is over…

I’m ending up better for this in the end

You’ll get a letter addressed to a friend

A friend who’s like no friend that I’ve ever known

When this is over I wanted to know

His dark side shows, his dark side grows

Dark side grows



Don’t give up

Don’t give in

Don’t give up

Be my friend

Don’t give up

(Hey Mike, if you’re listening

Be my friend)

Don’t give in

(Hey Mike, if you’re listening

Be my friend)

Don’t give up

Don’t give in

(Hey Mike, will you please return my call?)

Don’t give up

Don’t give in

(Hey Mike, will you please become my friend?)

Don’t give in

Hey Mike, is your shinny car fast enough to catch a shooting star?

The one that we all wished on
