Ya, I found "D.O.A" from the  "I'll  be there for you" lyrics. I think  It's   the short form of any words. If anyones know it, please show me the meaning of it. Thanks!!
Have a nice day.

 It is an abbreviation for dead on arrival, does that suit for the context?

Here is the lyrics:

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your jobs a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
And 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
'Cuz 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
Oh but she didn't tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that...

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
'Cuz you're there for me too...

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

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
'Cuz you're there for me too...

I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...

I found too much meaning of "D.O.A" but I don't know what meaning the lyrics talking about. PLease show me.
Thanks

Zerox has given you the correct meaning of DOA.

For getting helps with the lyrics, you may want to post in the Poetry forum.

Someone is a Friends fan

It just means that your love-life - your romantic life - is so non-existant it's practically dead! You have no love- life at all. You haven't even got the early stages of one.
