# the Rembrandts 演唱乐团“伦勃朗”
# 这首由 Michael Skloff 作曲、Allee Willis 作词的歌曲原本是为迈克尔·斯蒂普和纳塔利-麦钱特度身定做的，但这两名歌手拒绝出演。

The Soundtrack album has the TV version and the extended version of the song.
The extended version can also be found on the Rembrandts 1995 album, "L.P."
And a new version can be found on the 2nd Friends Soundtrack Album, Friends Again.

And to answer the most-asked questions about the theme song: There are only four claps; and D.O.A. stands for "dead on arrival."

Lyrics:

I will be there for you
# be there (for somebody):
# spoken
# to be always ready to help someone when they need help
# That's what I loved about my father - he was always there for me.


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.
# be broke:
# INFORMAL, to have no money 例如：

# Can you lend me $5? I’m completely broke.
# D.O.A.

# 1 dead on arrival: used for describing someone who is dead by the time they
# arrive  at the hospital
# 2 INFORMAL something that is DOA has not been successful, usually because it
# did  not exist long enough to develop:
# Congressional leaders declared the president’s budget DOA.

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
# gear n.齿轮;传动装置;(汽车)排档[C][U]

When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year

CHORUS:
# chorus n.1. 合唱队[C][G] 2. 合唱,合唱曲[C] v.1. 合唱;齐声朗诵 2. 一齐说,异口同声地说

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)

Then, the extended version continues with:

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 warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell when the world has brought you down to your knees
# bring someone to their knees：

# to almost defeat someone, or make them extremely weak:
# The strike nearly brought the government to its knees.

# 区别与 get on the knees:跪下

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
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

CHORUS
