So no one told you life was gonna be this way [four claps]
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear¹
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year
------------CHORUS:（合唱）----------
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 and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast; so far, things are going great
Your mother warned² you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees
CHORUS（合唱）
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'm best with you，Yeah!
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
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)
