So no one told you
Life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke,
You're broke
our love life's D.O.A,
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Oh 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've burned your breakfast
So far things are going great
Your mother told you
There'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world
Has brought you down to your knees
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
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 I'm best with you
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Oh 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
