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
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
