Paper Roses -- Marie Osmond

I realized 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

Paper Roses Oh how real those roses seem to be But they're only imitation, Like you 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 be
But they're only imitation like you imitation love for me

"Paper Roses" is a popular song written by Fred Spielman and Janice Torre which was a hit in 1960 for Anita Bryant with Monty Kelly's Orchestra and Chorus and later for Marie Osmond in 1973.    (wikipedia)
