You see a pair
Of laughing eyes
And suddenly
You're sighing sighs
You're thinking
Nothing'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 acting
Kind of smart
Until your heart
Just goes whack
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 bein' single
Then 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
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
