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

From the Enchanted Tour:
Thank you very much, I think it’s letting up a little bit, yes? So my third song, I think is very interesting, it is to me anyway, because I wrote this when I was 17 years old, I was a senior in high school in San Francisco.
The music thing was totally happening and I was like, you know, "I am in heaven, I live in the place where it’s happening." And I knew that then, um, but I knew there was gonna be a really intense price to pay so I wrote this song, and I think, I think that’s what I was thinking about when I was 17 and wrote this, it’s called, "You, Never Promised Me, A Rose Garden".
