(Joe South) I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go ooo oooo I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden. I can't promise you things like big diamonds rings But you don't find roses growing fields of clover so better think it over When if sweet talking you would 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 melancholic Come on 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 got to 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 just too 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 it won't always be someone there to put 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 melancholic Come on 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 got to be a little rain sometimes Aus Songtexte Mania
