(Love Is) The Tender Trap

You 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, theyre part of the tender trap

Youre hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon theres music in the breeze
Youre acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
Those trees, that breeze, theyre part of the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
Shell hold you tight, and youll 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, thats just a dot on the map
Youre hooked, youre cooked, youre caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
Shell hold you tight, and youll 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 thats just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
Its too late now theres no gettin out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap
