Lyrics: I Never Promised You A Rose Garden
Album: Unknown
Artist: 10000 Maniacs
 

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there’s gotta be a little rain sometimes
I could promise you things,
Like big diamond rings
But if that’s what it takes to hold you
I’d as soon as let you go
But there’s one thing i want you to know
Oh, smile for a while and lets be jolly
Love shouldn’t be so melancholy
Come along, enjoy 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 sometimes
I said, oh oh oh oh, i beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
