So no one told you life was gonna be this way Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA It's like you're always stuck in second gear And 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, at work again 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 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 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 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'll mess with you It's like you're always stuck in second gear And 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 you're there for me too
