So no one told you life
was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke you're broke
Your love Iife's DOA
It's like you're always
stuck in second gear
But when it hasn't been
your day your week
your month or even your year
But I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there
for me too
You're still in bed at ten
And work began at eight
You burned your breakfast
So far things are goin' great
Your mother warned you
there'd be days like these
But what she didn't tell you
when the world
has brought you down
to your knees that
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there
for me too
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Since you're the only
one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through
all the mess with
Someone I'll always
laugh with
Even at my worst
I'm best with you yeah
It's like you're always
stuck in second gear
And when it hasn't been
your day your week
your month or even
your year yeah
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too
