|
You see a pair of laughing eyes |
|
And suddenly your sighing sighs |
|
You're thinkin' nothing's wrong |
|
You string along, boy, then snap |
|
Those eyes, those sighs |
|
They're part of the tender trap |
|
You're hand in hand beneath the trees |
|
And soon there's music in the breeze |
|
You're acting kind of smart |
|
Until your heart just goes wap |
|
Those trees, that breeze |
|
They're part of the tender trap |
|
Some starry night |
|
When her kisses make you tingle |
|
She'll hold you tight |
|
And you'll hate yourself for being single |
|
And all at once it seems so nice |
|
The folks are throwing shoes and rice |
|
You hurry to a spot |
|
That's just a dot on the map |
|
You're hooked, you're cooked |
|
You're caught in the tender trap |
|
Some starry night |
|
When her kisses make you tingle |
|
She'll hold you tight |
|
And you'll hate yourself for being single |
|
And all at once it seems so nice |
|
The folks are throwing shoes and rice |
|
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map |
|
And then you wonder how it all came about |
|
It's too late now, there's no gettin' out |
|
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap |
