|
You see a pair of laughing eyes, |
|
And suddenly you're sighing sighs. |
|
You're thinkin' nothin'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 actin' kind of smug |
|
Until your heart just goes WHAP! |
|
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 throwin' 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. |
|
(Musical interlude) |
|
Some starry night, |
|
When her kisses make you tingle, |
|
She'll hold you tight |
|
And you'll hate yourself for bein' single. |
|
And all at once it seems so nice, |
|
The folks are throwin' 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. |
|
