You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You`re thinking 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
