The Tender Trap

You see a pair of laughing eyesAnd 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 trapYou're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breezeYou're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trapSome starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being singleAnd all at once it seems so niceThe folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the mapYou're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trapSome starry night, when her kisses make you tingleShe'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being singleAnd all at once it seems so niceThe folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the mapAnd then you wonder how it all came aboutIt's too late now there's no gettin' outYou fell in love, and love is the tender trap
