I realize the way your eyes

deceived me with tender looks

that I mistook for love

So take away the flowers that

you gave me and send the

kind that you remind me of

Paper roses paper roses oh how

real those roses seem to be

But they're only imitation like

your imitation love for me

I thought that you would

be a perfect lover

You seemed so full of

sweetness at the start

But like the big red rose

that's made of paper

Ah there isn't any

sweetness in your heart

Paper roses paper roses oh how

real those roses seem to be

But they're only imitation like

your imitation love for me.
