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
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
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 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
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
