So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your jobs a joke, you`re broke, your love life`s D.O.A.

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
`Cuz 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 goin` great

Your mother warned you there`d be days like these
Oh 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
`Cuz 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
And 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
`Cuz you`re there for me too...

I`ll be there for you
I`ll be there for you
I`ll be there for you
`Cuz you`re there for me too...
