012 - The Tender Trap
Verse 1
You see a pair of laugh-ing eyes
and sud-den-ly you’re sigh-ing sighs
you’re think-ing noth-ing’s wrong,
you string a-long, boy,
then SNAP!
those eyes, those sighs, they’re part of
The Ten-der TRAP!
Verse 2
You’re hand in hand be-neath the trees
and soon there’s mu-sic in the breeze,
you’re act-ing kind of smart,
un-til your heart just goes
WHAP!
those trees, that breeze, they’re part of
The Tender TRAP!
Bridge
Some star-ry night,
when her kis-ses make you tin-gle,
she’ll hold you tight
and you’ll hate your-self for
be-ing sin-gle.
Verse 3
And all at once it seems so nice,
the folks are throw-ing shoes and rice,
you hur-ry to a spot,
that’s just a dot on the MAP!
Outtro
You won-der how it all came a-bout,
it’s too late now, there’s no get-ting out,
you fell in love, and love
is the Tender TRAP!

You won-der how it all came a-bout,
it’s too late now, there’s no get-ting out,
you fell in love, and love
is the Tender TRAP!
