| You never promised me a rose garden
|
| You never said it would be easy
|
| You never promised me a leisure lifetime
|
| You only said you’d never leave me
|
| Well, I never took the time to realize
|
| How much I needed love in order to survive
|
| I was so spoiled, a princess in my time
|
| And your love was so deep and mine so blind
|
| You never promised me a ring made out of diamonds
|
| A band of gold you said was all you could buy
|
| You never said I’d be a rich man’s lady
|
| And, oh, my darling you never lied
|
| Well, I never took the time to realize
|
| How much I needed love in order to survive
|
| Well, I was so spoiled, a princess in my time
|
| And your love was so deep and mine so blind
|
| And now you’re gone and I’m alone and I’m so lonely
|
| Nothing seems to be the same
|
| One day I turned around and you no longer loved me
|
| In my life there’s been a big change
|
| Now I’ve a big house
|
| With pillars standing tall all around
|
| Yeah, and I’ve got a garden
|
| And it’s got roses dangling down to the ground
|
| Yes, and I’ve got money
|
| Ooh, men to love me and acres of land
|
| Well, I’ve got all these things
|
| All these things but a small gold band
|
| On my finger on my left hand
|
| On my finger on my left hand
|
| No, no, you never promised
|
| You never promised me a rose garden |
