I Never Promised You A Rose Garden (Album Version)

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Right along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a little rain sometimes

When you take, you gotta give

So live and let live and let go oh oh oh

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings

But you don't find roses growing on stalks of clover

So you better think it over

Well if sweet-talking you will make it come true

I'd give you the world right now on a silver platter

But what would it matter?

So smile for a while, and let's be jolly

Love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Right along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a little rain sometimes

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon

But if that's what it takes to hold you, I'd just as soon let you go

But there's one thing I want you to know

You better look before you leap, still waters run deep

But there won't always be someone there to pull you out

And you know what I'm talking about

So smile for a while, and let's be jolly

Love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Right along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a little rain sometimes

When you take, you gotta give

So live an live a little and let go oh oh oh

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden, right

I beg your pardon
