So no one told you life was

Gonna be this way

Your job's a joke, you're broke,

Your love life'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

'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

When 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...
