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



{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 mama 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



{Chorus}



No one could ever know me

No one could ever see me

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

Someone to face the day with

Make it through all the best with

Someone who always laughs at

Even when I'm at my worst, I'm best with you

Yeah!



{Chorus}



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
