(I Beg Your Pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain sometime...) 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 Do you want to hustle? Do you want to salsa? Do you want to hustle? Do you want to salsa? 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 seehear 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
