I Beg Your Pardon (I Never Promised You A Rose Garden) (12" Remix) - Kon Kan

Written by：Barry Harris

There once was a time and there once was a way

We had something going and 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 a topic and 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

Yuo 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

If that's how you want it that's how it'll be

There's no use in trying or 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 ever again

From this day on listen but no more

Please count me out and you know what I'm talkin' about

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
