Verse:

I realized 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.

Chorus:

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

(repeat verse and chorus)

 

Ending:

Like your imitation love for me.
