Dead On Arrival. Lyrics: I'll be there for you Friends Soundtrack, Theme) by The Rembrandts 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 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, though work began 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 was brought down to your knees that... Chorus No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me Seems your the only one who knows, what it's like to be me Someone to face the day with, make it through all the mess 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... Chorus Aug 27 04, 5:29 AM
