《I'll Be There for You》最初由《老友记》的编剧David Crank，Marta Kauffman和作曲家Allee Willis创作，歌曲长度不到一分钟。后来该歌曲在电台热播，演唱者Rembrandts乐队几位音乐人将其拓展创作为3分钟左右的歌曲并加入了该乐队的专辑《LP》。
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
那么，没人告诉过你人生会是这样
Your job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s D.O.A
工作没前途，身上无分文，爱情生活不开张（译注：D.O.A=Death On Arrival）
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
你好像总是卡在二档
And when it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month
不顺利的每月每周和每天
Or even your year, but
哪怕是整年
I’ll be there for you
我会在你身旁
When the rain starts to pour
风雨飘摇时
I’ll be there for you
我会在你身旁
Like I’ve been there before
像以前一样
I’ll be there for you
我会在你身旁
‘Cause you’re there for me too
因为你也曾陪在我身旁
You’re still in bed at 10 and work began at 8
八点上班你十点还没起床
You’ve burned your breakfast; so far, things are going great
一切都挺好，哪怕烧糊了早饭
Your mother warned you there’d be days like these
妈妈说过会有这样的倒霉天
Oh, but she didn’t tell you when the world has brought
可她没说过
You down to your knees that
生活压得你喘不过气来时
I’ll be there for you
我会在你身旁
When the rain starts to pour
风雨飘摇时
I’ll be there for you
我会在你身旁
Like I’ve been there before
像以前一样
I’ll be there for you
我会在你身旁
‘Cause you’re there for me too
因为你也曾陪在我身旁
No one could ever know me
没人认识我
No one could ever see me
没人关心我
Seems you’re the only one who knows
似乎只有你知道
What it’s like to be me
我内心的感觉
Someone to face the day with
一起面对
Make it through all the rest with
一起扛
Someone I’ll always laugh with
一起开怀的日常
Even at my worst, I’m best with you
哪怕人生失意时，有你我就是最强
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
你好像总是卡在二档
And when it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month
不顺利的每月每周和每天
Or even your year
哪怕是整年
I’ll be there for you

Like I’ve been there before
