So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke
You're broke
Your lovelife'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 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 goin' 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
yourknees
that

*Repeat

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
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

*Repeat

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)

We both know you and I, have been through harder times
But now your silence seems, a very different kind
It feels like I've been dyin', just to hear your voice again

*Call me..can't you here me cryin'?
Call me..call me-please don't leave me hangin'on

So maybe you were right, and maybe I've been wrong
Why did I have to go, and wait it out so long?
But I didn't mean to hurt you-If you could only feel my pain

*Repeat
Now I can't speak for you, but I wish you'd talk to me
How difficult can this one conversation be?

*Repeat(x2)

Call me
Please don't leave me...hangin' on
Call me
Call me
Call me
