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 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 fall
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 everything is 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
That -

I'll be there for you when the rain starts to fall
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
