I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Alone with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes
But when you take you gotta give
So live and let live or let go
Oh, oh, 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 stocks of clover
So you better think it over
Well, it's sweet talking,
you could make it come true
I will give you the world right now
on a silver platter
But what would it matter?
Don't smile for a while and let's be jolly
Life shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times
While we can hang out
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden,
along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes
But when you take you gotta give,
so live and let live
Oh, let go, oh, oh, oh, oh,
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 your lips
to waters run deep
And there won't always be
someone there to hold you up
So you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Life shouldn't be so mel ancholy
Come along and share the good times
while we can
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
It's gotta be a little rainy sometimes,
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden,
along with the sunshine
It's gotta be a little rainy sometimes,
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden...
you
