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
But 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, on my finger on my left hand
No, no, you never promised, you never promised me a rose garden
No, you never promised
