Lyrics

[00:00.50] Paper Roses
[00:09.06] -Anita Bryant
[00:16.06]
[00:18.50] I realize the way your eyes deceived me
[00:26.84] With tender looks that I mistook for love
[00:34.94] So take away the flowers that you gave me
[00:43.18] And send the kind that you remind me of.
[00:48.48]
[00:50.66] Paper Roses
[00:54.88] paper Roses
[00:59.02] Oh how real those roses seem to be
[01:07.31] But they're only imitation
[01:15.62] Like your imitation lover for me
[01:23.01]
[01:24.41] I thought that you would be a perfect lover her
[01:32.77] You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
[01:40.94] But like a big red rose that's made of paper
[01:49.04] There isn't any sweetness in your heart.
[01:55.56]
[01:56.64] Paper Roses
[02:00.78] paper Roses
[02:05.02] Oh how real those roses seem to be
[02:13.21] But they're only imitation
[02:21.51] Like your imitation lover for me.
[02:28.82]
[02:29.62] Like your imitation lover for me.
[02:45.01]
