The Tender Trap Lyrics - Oscar Peterson

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 her kisses make you tingle 

She'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 her kisses make you tingle 

She'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 

And then 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
