Paper Roses sing and play along

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.

Your pretty lips look warm and so appealing,

they seem to have the sweetness of a rose;

but when you give a kiss there is no feeling,

it's just a stiff and artificial pose.

Paper roses, paper roses, oh, how real those roses seem to be!

But they're only imitation like your imitation love for me.

Your me.

Like your imitation love for me.
