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
