|
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 seemed 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 a big red rose that's made of paper |
|
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 |
|
Like your imitation love for me |
