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
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, 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 warned you
there`d be days like these
But 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
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, yeah

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 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)
