So no-one told you
Life was gonna be this way
Your jobs a joke
You're broke
Your love life's DOA
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
And 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
Cos 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 was brought
Down to your kne
es, 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
Cos 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 that 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
And 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
Cos you're there for me too
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
Cos you're there for me too
