I Beg Your Pardon (I Never Promised You a Rose Garden) Lyrics

Since you've been gone
I sit alone and watch the same old screen
I carry on
It doesn't matter what it is I've seen
I just feel the need to hide away
As I loose myself inside the day

Look at me I keep turning the pages of history
Look at you trying to fill up your life with things to do
Look at us will we ever find a key to the mystery
Could it be if I move to you would you move to me

I call you up
(Sorry, I'm not home right now, but you can leave a message)
But all I ever get is your machine
I know you're there
What makes you think it could be just a dream
Do you feel the need to run away
Are you searching for a better day

Look at me I keep turning the pages of history
Look at you trying to fill up your life with things to do
Look at us will we ever find a key to the mystery
Could it be if I move to you would you move to me

How many times changing my mind
How many days wasted away (Wasted away)
How many words, what will it take? (What will it take, ooh)
How do we work out this mistake (aaah)

Look at me I keep turning the pages of history
Look at you trying to fill up your life with things to do
Look at us will we ever find a key to the mystery
Could it be if I move to you, would you move to me?

Look at me I keep turning the pages of history
Look at you trying to fill up your life with things to do
Look at us will we ever find a key to the mystery
Could it be if I move to you, would you move to me?

As frequently happens here, what I posted is not what is showing. And, cannot be edited. So...

(Ahhhh) Here we go

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, 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 commitment, s'all I ask of you Your lifestyle can change Don't be afraid what you think's in store

I know what's on your mind you've got lots to lose Your shallow acquaintance is what's there to choose You won't get too deep even though I'm worth so much more So think about it carefully

Smile for the while and let's be jolly We shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can

(Go) (Rock, do you want to hustle?) (Freak, that's right) (Rock, do you want to salsa?) (Freak, that's right) (Rock, do you want to hustle?) (Freak, that's right) (Rock, 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 see/hear from you never again From this day on listen learned, no more, please count me out And you know what I'm talkin' about

Smile for the while and let's be jolly We 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
