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-AIt's like you're always stuck in second gear
Oh when it hasn't been your day
Your week, your month, or even your yearI'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
It's like you're always stuck in second gearI'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 one who knows
What it's like to be meSomeone 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 youIt's like you're always stuck in second gear
Oh when it hasn't been your day
Your week, your month, or even your yearI'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)
