(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden - Martina McBride

作词：Joe South

作曲：Joe South

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

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

there's gotta be a little rain sometime
