I realize the way your eyes deceived me with tender looks that I mistook for love
So throw away the flowers that I sent you
And I`ll 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 after start
But like a big red rose that`s made of paper there isn`t any sweetness in your heart
Paper roses paper roses...
