I Never Promised You A Rose Garden - The Suicide Machines

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There’s gonna be a little rain sometime

When you take you gotta give

So love and let live and let go

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

Well, 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

Life shouldn’t be so melancholy

Come and let’s 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 gonna 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 better look before you leap

Still waters run deep

And there won’t always be someone there

To pull you out

That’s just what I’m talkin' about

So smile for a while

And let’s be jolly

Life 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 gonna be a little rain sometime
