So no one told your life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
(D.O.A = Death On Arrival)
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...
[Chorus]
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 what she didn't tell you when the world has
Brought your down to your knees at...
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to fall)
I'll be there for yo
(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 one who knows what's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the
Mess 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...
[Chorus]
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)
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)
