I realise how much your eyes deceive 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 imitations
Like your imitation love for me

Your pretty lips look warm and so appealing
They seem to have a sweetness of rose
But when you give your kiss
Therе is no feeling
It's just a stiff artificial pose

Paper roses, papеr roses
Oh how real those roses seem to be
But they're only imitations
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 me
But they're only imitation
Like your imitation love for me
