Ou see a pair of laughing eyes And suddenly your sighing sighs Youre thinking nothings wrong You string along, boy, then snap! Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap Youre hand in hand beneath the trees And soon there's music in the breeze Youre 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 his kisses make you tingle He'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 his kisses make you tingle He'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 Its too late now there's no gettin out You fell in love, and love is the tender trap
