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

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 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

'Cause you're there for me too
