I realize the way your eyes deceived me
6    -7  6  -5    6   -7 6   -5  6   5
with tender looks that I mistook for love
6  7     -7 7 -7  7  6     5   4  -5  -6
So throw away the flowers that I sent you
7    -7   6    -5  6    -7   6  -7 -8 7
I'll send the kind that you remind me of

7 -7  -7 -6 -7 -6 -6 6
Paper roses paper roses
-6 6   6    -5    5 -5  -6   6  5
oh how real those roses seem to be
7   -7      -7-6 -7 -6 -6 6
But they're only imitation
-6   6    6 -5 5 -5 -6   -3  4
like your imitation love for me

6  7      -7    7  -7    7  6 5    4  -3 -4
I thought that you would be a perfect lover
6   -7     6  -5   6  -7   6    -5  6  5
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
6    7   -7 7  -7  7     6     5    4  -5 -6
But like a big red rose that's made of paper
7     -7  6 -5 6 -7   6   -7 -8    7
there isn't any sweetness in your heart

7 -7  -7 -6 -7 -6 -6 6
Paper roses paper roses
-6 6   6    -5    5 -5  -6   6  5
oh how real those roses seem to be
7   -7      -7-6 -7 -6 -6 6
But they're only imitation
-6   6    6 -5 5 -5 -6   -3  4
like your imitation love for me
-6   6    6 -5 5 -5 -6   -7  7
like your imitation love for me
