PAPER ROSES
Lyrics by Janice Torre
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse
I REALIZE 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 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,
Verse
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,
Chorus
PAPER ROSES, PAPER ROSES,
OH, HOW REAL THOSE ROSES SEEM TO BE!
BUT THEY’RE ONLY IMITATION,
LIKE YOUR IMITATION LOVE FOR ME,
Tag
LIKE YOUR IMITATION LOVE FOR ME.
