So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A
Its like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
or even your year
(Chorus)
(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 your there for me too)
You're still in bed at ten, and work began at eight
You burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great
Your Mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down
on your knees
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 when I'm worst I'm best with you
(Solo)
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
or even your year
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 your there for me too)
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you ('Cause your there for me too)
