I Never Promised You a Rose Garden Songtext

von The Suicide Machines

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 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 dont find roses
Growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
When sweet talking you
Will make you come true
I'd give you the world right now
On a silver platter
But what would it matter?

So smile for a while
Lets 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 thats what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go
But theres one thing I want you to know
So 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

So smile for a while
And lets 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
Well I beg your pardon
