I Beg Your Pardon: I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (Original Version Update)
(I Beg Your Pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
along with the sunshine
there's gotta be a little rain sometime...)
There once was a time and there once was a way
We had something going and to my dismay
Attention to me seemed to drift though I don't know where
And when we're alone seems there's nothing to say
I bring up a topic and you push it away
You say that you do but I think it's just you don't care
Why do I feel you're using me
Are we an item or are we just two
I need some commitments all I ask of you
Your lifestyle can change
Don't be 'fraid what you think's in store
I know what's on your mind you've got lots to lose
Your shallow acquaintances what's there to choose
Yuo won't get too deep even though I'm worth so much more
So think about it carefully
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
Do you want to hustle?
Do you want to salsa?
Do you want to hustle?
Do you want to salsa?
If that's how you want it; that's how it'll be
There's no use in trying or making you see
That love don't come easy you don't know what it's about
To get things together won't take any pain
Don't need to seehear from you ever again
From this day on listen but no more
Please count me out, and you know what I'm talkin' about
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 know now's the time that I went to find something new
You know it's your crime that I'm out to find someone too
I never promised you a rose garden
along with the sunshine
there's gotta be a little rain sometime...)
There once was a time and there once was a way
We had something going and to my dismay
Attention to me seemed to drift though I don't know where
And when we're alone seems there's nothing to say
I bring up a topic and you push it away
You say that you do but I think it's just you don't care
Why do I feel you're using me
Are we an item or are we just two
I need some commitments all I ask of you
Your lifestyle can change
Don't be 'fraid what you think's in store
I know what's on your mind you've got lots to lose
Your shallow acquaintances what's there to choose
Yuo won't get too deep even though I'm worth so much more
So think about it carefully
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
Do you want to hustle?
Do you want to salsa?
Do you want to hustle?
Do you want to salsa?
If that's how you want it; that's how it'll be
There's no use in trying or making you see
That love don't come easy you don't know what it's about
To get things together won't take any pain
Don't need to seehear from you ever again
From this day on listen but no more
Please count me out, and you know what I'm talkin' about
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 know now's the time that I went to find something new
You know it's your crime that I'm out to find someone too
