Hey Mike, if youre listenin
Im callin home to tell you how it is
Its real bad, its cold out here
Its been a long and lonely year
(Its been a long and lonely year)
Its been so long

Dont give up
Dont give in
Dont give up
Be my friend

Hey Mike, when the check arrives
I hope youre 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

Dont give up
Dont give in
Dont give up
Be my friend
Dont give up
Dont give in

Im ending up better for this in the end
Youll get a letter addressed to a friend
A friend whos like no friend that Ive ever known
When this is over
Im ending up better for this in the end
Youll get a letter addressed to a friend
A friend whos like no friend that Ive ever known
When this is over I wanted to know
His dark side shows, his dark side grows
Dark side grows

Dont give up
Dont give in
Dont give up
Be my friend
Dont give up
(Hey Mike, if youre listening
Be my friend)
Dont give in
(Hey Mike, if youre listening
Be my friend)
Dont give up
Dont give in
(Hey Mike, will you please return my call?)
Dont give up
Dont give in
(Hey Mike, will you please become my friend?)
Dont give in
Hey Mike, is your shinny car fast enough to catch a shooting star?
The one that we all wished on
