Rosegarden - The Three Degrees

作曲：Joe South

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a some rain some time

When you take you gotta give so live and let live

Or let go let go

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings

But you won't find roses growin' on a stalks of clover

So you better think it over think it over baby

With a sweet talking you

If I 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 along and

Share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a some rain some time

When you take you gotta give so live and let live

Or let go let go

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 soon let you go

But there's one thing you ought to know

Look before you leap still waters run deep

And there won't always be someone there

To always pull you out I know what I'm talking 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

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine
