The Tender Trap
Navigating Love's Delicate Snare with Bing Crosby's Tender Trap
Lyrics
You see a pair of laughing eyes
You notice a pair of happy and joyful eyes.
And suddenly your sighing sighs
Suddenly, you find yourself expressing deep, heartfelt sighs.
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You believe everything is fine or normal.
You string along, boy, then snap!
You engage in a relationship, but then it unexpectedly ends or changes.
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
Those eyes and sighs are components of an emotional and affectionate trap.
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
You're walking hand in hand under the trees.
And soon there's music in the breeze
Soon, there's a romantic atmosphere created by the surroundings.
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
You act confidently until your heart suddenly reacts strongly.
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
The trees and breeze contribute to the emotional trap.
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
On a romantic night, her kisses evoke a tingling sensation.
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
She holds you tightly, and you regret not being in a relationship.
And all at once it seems so nice
Suddenly, everything seems pleasant and enjoyable.
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
People celebrate your union with throwing shoes and rice.
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You rush to a location that's seemingly insignificant.
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
You are ensnared, trapped, and captivated by the tender emotions.
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
Similar to a previous description, the romantic night causes intense feelings.
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
She embraces you strongly, and you feel remorse for being single.
And all at once it seems so nice
Everything appears delightful and pleasant at once.
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
Celebrations with people throwing items symbolizing joy and fertility.
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
You hastily move to a location that seems insignificant on the map.
And then you wonder how it all came about
You start reflecting on how the situation unfolded.
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
Regrettably, it's too late to escape; you're already deeply in love.
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap
You've fallen in love, and love itself is the tender trap.
