I beg your pardon, I never did it in the Rose Garden
Just the Oval Office,
and just a few times with an intern novice
Well she had alot to give so live and let live
And let go oh oh oh
I beg your pardon, I never did it in the Rose Garden

I never promised her things like wedding rings
And I never really told her that I loved her
Now the whole thing's over
But some sweet talkin helped my dreams come true
And I gave her a load of b.s. on a silver platter
Just dumb empty chatter
I had fun for awhile and I was jolly,
Lust shouldn't be so melancholy
I just had some good times with her, man

I beg your pardon, I never did it in the Rose Garden
I didn't want sunshine
Beaming hotly down on my fair behind
I beg your pardon, I never did it in the Rose Garden

Well she sang me a tune and I showed her my moon
She said, "If that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go"
But this much you ought to know--
You'd better look before you leap cause this'll get you in deep
But you can say we never had relations
and that will pull you out
You know what I'm taking about?
So be with me a while and let's be jolly
Lust shouldn't be so melancholy
Come, let's have some good times while we can"

I beg your pardon, I never did it in the Rose Garden
Just the Oval Office, and just a few times with an intern novice...
