So no one told you life was gonna be this way *clap*clap*clap*clap*
Your job's a joke; you're broke; your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Well, 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 going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world was brought down to your knees

And 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
Seems 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 rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, the best was you, yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Well, 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 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.
