[Chorus] I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine, theres gotta be a little rain sometimes When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live or let go I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden [Verse] I could promise you things like big diamond rings But you dont find roses growin on stalks of clover So youd better think it over Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true I would give you the world right now on a silver platter But what would it matter? [Chorus] So smile for a while and lets be jolly Love shouldnt be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden [Verse] I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon But if thats what it takes to hold you, Id just as soon let you go But theres one thing I want you to know Youd better look before you leap, still water runs deep And there wont always be someone there to pull you out And you know what Im talking about [Chorus] So smile for a while and lets be jolly Love shouldnt be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
