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 tener trap
Bridge
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 wonder how, but it's too late now
You fell in love and love is the tener trap
