Paper Roses (Re-Recorded In Stereo)

I realise the way 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 ofPaper roses, paper roses,

Oh how real those roses seem to me

But they're only imitation

Like your imitation love for meI 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 heartPaper roses, paper roses,

Oh how real those roses seem to me

But they're only imitation

Like your imitation love for me
