(Love Is) The Tender Trap

You see a pair of laughing eyes

And suddenly your 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 wap

Those trees, that breeze

They're part of the tender trap

Some starry night, when his kisses make you tingle

He'll hold you tight, and you'll 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, 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 his kisses make you tingle

He'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for, for being single

And all at once, it seems so nice

The folks are throwing shoes and rice

You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map

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
