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 (Dead On Arrival)
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, 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
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 best with
someone who always laughs at
even when I'm 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
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 -
