Rose Garden Lyrics

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-my my my
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
If sweet-talkin' you would make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
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
Now when you take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let go, my
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune or promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go
There's one thing I want you to know
Look before you leap, still water runs deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
I know what I'm talkin' about
So just 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
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
You've got to take it, the good with the bad
Sometimes you're happy, oh, sometimes you're sad
Girl if you want me
You've got to sacrifice....
