(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 [C7]there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!

Those tɾees, that breeze,
They're part of the tender tɾap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you [A7tingle
She'll hold you [A7tight, and [Bm]you'll hate yourself for [Dm7]being single

And all [Em]at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and [Bm]ɾice
You hurry to [C7]a spot, that's just a dot on [C7]the map

You're hooked, you're cooked,
You're caught in the tender tɾap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you [A7tingle
She'll hold you [A7tight, and [Bm]you'll hate yourself for [Dm7]being single

And all [Em]at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and [Bm]ɾice
You hurry to [C7]a spot that's just a dot on [C7]the map

And then you [A7wonder how it all [Em]came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and [Bm]love is the tender tɾap
