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
