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 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)

I'll be there for you

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)
