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
