I Beg Your Pardon (I Never Promised You a Rose Garden)

Here we go!
There once was a time and there once was a way
We had something goin' then 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 the topic, 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 commitment, it's 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?
You won't get too deep even though I'm worth so much more
So think about it carefully

Smile for the while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times, while we can
Go rock!
Do you want to hustle?
Freak, that's right, rock!
Do you want to salsa?
Freak, that's right, rock!
Do you want to hustle?
Freak, that's right, rock!
Do you want to salsa?

If that's how you want it, that's how it'll be
There's no use in trying nor 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 see, hear from you never again
From this day on lesson learned no more games count me out
And you know what I talk about

Smile for the while and let's be jolly
L-l-l-love shouldn't be so melancholy
C-c-c-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
