Joe South - Joe South (Bonus Track Version)

Rose Garden

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's got to be a little rain sometime
And when you take you got to give
So live and let live
Or let go nah, nah, nah
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' in fields of clover
So you better think it over
If sweet-talkin' you would make it come true
Then I'd give you the world right now on a silver platter
But it really wouldn't 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 got to be a little rain sometime
Now, when you take you got to give
So live and let live
Or let go nah, nah, nah
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 water runs deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And I know what I'm talkin' 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 got to be a little rain sometime
Now, when you take you got to give
So live and let live
Or let go nah, nah, nah
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
