The Tender Trap
Love's Deceptive Dance: Unraveling the Tender Trap
Lyrics
You see a pair of laughing eyes
You notice a pair of cheerful eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
Instantly, you find yourself expressing deep sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You believe everything is fine
You string along, boy, then snap!
You go along with it, but then suddenly it ends abruptly
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
Those eyes and sighs are components of a romantic entanglement
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
You walk together under the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
Soon, there's a romantic atmosphere with music in the air
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
You act confidently until your heart suddenly reacts
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
The trees and the breeze contribute to the romantic situation
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
On a starry night, her kisses create excitement
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
She embraces you, and you regret not being in a relationship
And all at once it seems so nice
Suddenly, everything seems pleasant
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
People celebrate your union with the throwing of shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You rush to a location, a tiny spot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
You are captivated, ensnared, and entangled in the romantic trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
Similar feelings occur on another starry night
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
She holds you closely, and again you regret being alone
And all at once it seems so nice
Once more, everything appears delightful
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
Celebrations with people throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
You hasten to a location, a mere dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
You reflect on how this situation unfolded
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
Regrettably, it's too late to escape; you're trapped in love
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap
You've fallen in love, and love itself is the tender trap
