  • I realise 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

    Paper roses, paper roses,
    Oh how real those roses seem to me
    But they're only imitation
    Like your imitation love for me

    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

    Paper roses, paper roses
    Oh how real those roses seem to me
    But they're only imitation
    Like your imitation love for me Writer/s: F. SPIELMAN, J. TORRE

  • Bill from Sunshine State FloridaNow that is some trivia, I had no idea that great vocal came out of someone only 13 years old. Surprised she didn't have more no 1's.
    All of her stuff sounds so pleasing in stereo.
