So no one told you life was gonna be this way,
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your lovelife's DOA,
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....

Your still in bed at 10 and work begins at 8,
You burned your breakfast so far things are going great
Your mother warned you there be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world was brought down to your knees,

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 your the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Some one to face the day with
Make it through all the mess with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, my best with you, yeah.

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