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 fall

And 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 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 told you there'd be days like these

But she didn't tell you when the world has got you down to your knees that

I'll be there for you

When the rain starts to fall

And I'll be there for you

Like I've been there before

And I'll be there for you

'Cause you're there for me too

No one could ever know me

No one could ever see me

Seems only you're the one who knows what it's like to be me

I want someone to face the day with

And make it through all the rest 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 fall

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 there for me too
