Bi ht: Paper Roses - Ray Conniff

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 (roses, roses, roses)
Paper roses (roses, roses, roses)
Oh, how real those roses seem to be
But they re only (but they re only, but they re only, but they re only)
Imitations (Imitations, imitations)
Like your imitation love for me.

Paper roses (roses, roses, roses)
Paper roses (roses, roses, roses)
Oh, how real those roses seem to be
But they re only (but they re only, but they re only, but they re only)
Imitations (Imitations, imitations)
Like your imitation love for me.
