The Tender Trap
Navigating the Tender Trap of Love
Lyrics
You see a pair of laughing eyes
You notice someone with happy, cheerful eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
And suddenly you find yourself expressing wistful emotions
You're thinking nothings wrong
You believe everything is fine
You string along, boy, then snap!
You follow along, but then abruptly things change
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
Those eyes and those wistful emotions are elements of a romantic entrapment
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
You're walking intimately together under the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
Soon, there's a romantic atmosphere
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
You're pretending to be clever until your heart suddenly reacts strongly
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
The setting of trees and breeze contributes to a romantic entanglement
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
In a romantic moment, her kisses create a tingling sensation
Shell hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
You'll feel regret for being alone when she holds you tightly
And all at once it seems so nice
Suddenly, everything appears pleasant and lovely
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
People are celebrating a marriage with traditional gestures
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You rush to a place that seems insignificant on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
You're ensnared, trapped, and ensnared in a romantic entanglement
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
Reiteration of the impact of her kisses on a starry night
Shell hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
Regret for being single intensifies when she embraces you tightly
And all at once it seems so nice
Everything suddenly appears wonderful
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
Celebratory gestures occur in a wedding-like scenario
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
You rush to a seemingly insignificant location
And then you wonder how it all came about
You start questioning how this situation arose
Its too late now there's no gettin' out
Realization that it's too late to escape from the entanglement
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap
You've fallen in love, and love itself is the ensnaring force
