I realize the way your eyes deceived meWith tender looks that I mistook for loveSo take away the flowers that you gave meAnd send the kind that you remind me of
Paper rosesPaper rosesOh,how real those roses seem to beBut they're only imitationLike your imitation love for me
I thought that you would be a perfect loverYou seemed so full of sweetness at the startBut like a big red rose that's made of paper
There isn't any sweetness in your heart
Paper rosesPaper rosesOh,how real those roses seem to be!But they're only imitationLike your imitation love for me
