[Verse 1]
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 your year
Well

[Chorus]
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to fall
And 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 there for me too

[Verse 2]
You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast, so far things are going great
Oh, your mother told you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has got you down on your knees that

[Chorus]
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to fall
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
And I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too
[Bridge]
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems I'm the only one who knows what it's like to be me
I want someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest --
Oh, if it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or your year
Well

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
You're there for me, too
