Lyric (Love Is) The Tender Trap

Ya 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.
