THE TENDER TRAP Sammy Cahn/van Heusen You see a pair of laughing eyes And suddenly your sighing sighs Youre thinking nothings wrong You string along, boy, then snap! Those eyes, those sighs, theyre part of the tender trap Youre hand in hand beneath the trees And soon theres music in the breeze Youre acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap! Those trees, that breeze, theyre part of the tender trap Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle Shell hold you tight, and youll 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, thats just a dot on the map Youre hooked, youre cooked, youre caught in the tender trap Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle Shell hold you tight, and youll 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 thats just a dot on the map And then you wonder how it all came about Its too late now theres no getting out You fell in love, and love is the tender trap
