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
