I re - a - lize 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. Refrain: Paper ro - ses, paper ro - ses; Oh how real those roses seem to be. But they're on - ly im - i - ta - tion, Like your im - i - ta - tion 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 pa - per, There isn't any sweetness in your heart. Repeat Refrain: Coda: Like your im - i - ta - tion love for me.
