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, you 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 don't find roses growing on stalks of clover
So you better think it over

Well if sweet-talking you will make it come true
I′d 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
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 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
But there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I′m talking 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
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, right


I beg your pardon
