앨범 : 영화를 빛낸 위대한 오리지날 팝송 ...
작사 : Janice Torre
작곡 : Janice Torre

I realize 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.
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)
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 paper,
There isn''t any sweetness in your heart
(Chorus)
