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

I'll be there for you

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

I'll be there for you

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 of the rest with

Someone I'll always laugh with

You know how wish the best was 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

I'll be there for you

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
