so no one told you life was gonna be this way (clap clap clap clap)
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're goin' 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

no one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
seems you're the only know who knows what it's like to be me
someone to face 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, yeah

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

i'll be there for you... i'll be there for you... i'll be there for you...
cause you're there for me too
