Rose Garden
Promises and Petals: Unveiling the Hidden Messages in 'Rose Garden'
Lyrics
I beg your pardon
I apologize
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy and perfect life
Along with the sunshine
In addition to the happiness
There's gotta be a little rain some time
There will inevitably be challenges and difficulties
When you take you gotta give so live and let live
In relationships, you have to give and take, embrace both joy and sorrow
Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
Or, if necessary, let go of the relationship
I beg your pardon
I apologize
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy and perfect life
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
I could make extravagant promises like offering expensive jewelry
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
But true love is not easily found; it requires thoughtful consideration
So you better think it over
So, it's important to think it through
Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
If sweet words alone could fulfill wishes
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
I would give you everything instantly
But what would it matter
But ultimately, material possessions may not bring true happiness
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
So, let's be happy for a while and enjoy life
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Love should not be overly sad or gloomy
Come along and share the good times while we can
Come and share good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I apologize
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy and perfect life
Along with the sunshine
In addition to the happiness
There's gotta be a little rain some time
There will inevitably be challenges and difficulties
I beg your pardon
I apologize
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy and perfect life
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
I could serenade you and promise you the world
But if that's what it takes to hold you
But if that's what it takes to keep you
I'd just as soon let you go
I would rather let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
But there's something you should be aware of
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
Think carefully before making decisions; hidden troubles can be profound
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
Not always will there be someone to rescue you
And you know what I'm talkin' about
Understand the risks involved
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
So, let's be happy for a while and enjoy life
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Love should not be overly sad or gloomy
Come along and share the good times while we can
Come and share good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I apologize
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy and perfect life
Along with the sunshine
In addition to the happiness
There's gotta be a little rain some time
There will inevitably be challenges and difficulties
