(Janice Torre - Fred Spielman)
|
Paper roses paper roses
|
[ steel ]
|
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
|
[ steel ]
|
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...
|
Like your imitation love for me
|
