So no one told your life was gonna be this way Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA Seems like we're always stuck in second gear 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 fall I'll be there for you 'Cause 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, your work began at eight You've burned your breakfast so far, things ain't going great Your mother told you there'd be days like these But she didn't tell you when the world had brought You down to your knees But I'll be there for you When the rain starts to fall I'll be there for you 'Cause I've been there before 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 you're the only one who knows What it's like to be me Someone to spend the day with Make it through all the rest with Someone I'll always laugh with Even at my worst, I'm best with you, oh Seems like we're always stuck in second gear 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 fall I'll be there for you 'Cause 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 fall I'll be there for you 'Cause I've been there before I'll be there for you 'Cause you're there for me too
