I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
Now when you take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let go oh na na na
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 growin' in fields of clover
So you better think it over
If sweet talkin' you could make it come true
Then I'd give you the world right now on a silver platter
But it wouldn't really 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
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
Now when you take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let go oh na na na
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 water runs deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And I know what I'm talkin' 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
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
Now when you take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let go oh na na na
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
