You see a pair of laughing eyes,
an d suddenly you're sighing sighs.
You're thinking nothing's wrong,
you string along, boy, then
SMACK!
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 kinda smart until your
heart just goes wop.
Those trees that breeze,
they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night,
when his kisses make you tingle
He'll hold you tight,
and you'll hate yourself for being single
An d all at once it seemed so nice,
the folks were throwing shoes and rice.
You hurried to a spot that's
just a dot on the map.
You wonder how it all came about,
it's too late now, there's no getting out.
You fell in love, and love is the tender trial
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just
out on the map
You wonder how it all came about
It's too late now,
there's no getting out
You fell in love,
and love is a tender trap
Is a tender trap
