I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's 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
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
Could make it come true
I would 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 on and share the good times
While we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
