Paper roses
Are making me blue
Paper roses
Remind me of you
Beautiful flowers
That have no heart
Just like you
All they do is play a part
You gave me roses
The day that we met
Bright paper flowers
I'll never forget
I knew your roses
Were gay make believe
But how could I know
You would deceive
Paper roses (paper roses)
Are making me blue
(Are making me blue)
Paper roses (paper roses)
Remind me of you
(Remind me of you)
Beautiful flowers
(Beautiful flowers)
That have no heart
(That have no heart)
Just like you
All they do is play a part
I shouldn't love you
The way that I do
When every hour
You're making me blue
I'll burn your roses
And when they're aflame
I'll wish your cold heart
Could be the same
Paper roses
Are making me blue
Paper roses
Remind me of you
Beautiful flowers
That have no heart
Just like you
All they do is play a part
Your paper roses have no heart
