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, well

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 and

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
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


'Cause you're there for me too
