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)
