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 no, you never lied
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
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 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 Oh no you never promised You never promised me a rose garden
