So no one told you life was gonna be this way Your lifes a joke, you're broke your love life's D.O.A Its like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year (Chorus) But (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 your there for me too) You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight You 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 (Chorus) No one could ever know me No one could ever see me Sometime the only one who knows what it'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 under the worst I'm best with you Solo 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 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 your there for me too) I'll be there for you I'll be there for you I'll be there for you ('Cause your there for me too)
