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 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? You 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) (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 tryin' 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 'bout (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
