(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden

I beg your pardon
 I never promised you a rose garden
 Along with the sunshine
 There's gotta be a little rain some time
 When you take you gotta give
 So live and let live
 Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
 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' on stalks of clover
 So you better think it over
 Well, if sweet-talkin' 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 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
 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 waters run deep
 And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
 And you 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
 I beg your pardon
 I never promised you a rose garden
