I Never Promised You A Rose Garden Lyrics - The Suicide Machines

I beg your pardon 

I never promised you a rose garden 

Along with the sunshine 

There's gotta be a little rain sometime 

When you take you gotta give 

So live and let live 

And let go oh 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 growin' 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 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 sometime 

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'd 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 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 

Along with the sunshine 

There's gotta be a little rain sometime
