Tender Trap Lyrics - Lovers Speak - Joan Armatrading

You come home after work 

And the first thing that you do 

Take me into your arms 

And you find out how I've been 

If the phone rings 

Nobody answers 

This is time is ours alone 

We're lying peaceful in the tender trap 

La la 

We're lying peaceful in the tender trap 

La la

I can't begin to prove how much I want you 

You've got to know 

That you make me feel much stronger 

Than anyone has the right to 

We're lying peaceful in the tender trap 

La la 

We're lying peaceful in the tender trap 

La la 

When you walk through the door from a hard day's work 

And someone's there to make you forget the nine to five 

When they throw their arms around you make you feel you're alive 

What other heaven is there when that sweet voice says 

If the phone rings nobody answers 

That's when you know working all the hours that God sends pays the rent 

But it don't cover all your needs you need a whole lot of love 

La la 

And when that love is real and makes you feel complete 

Whooo 

The world is right 

La la

I can't begin to prove how much I want you 

You've got to know 

That you make me feel much stronger 

Than anyone has the right to 

We're lying peaceful in the tender trap 

La la 

We're lying peaceful in the tender trap 

La la 

We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
