Lyrics

You (F)see a pair of laugh ing (F#dim)eyes

and (Cm7)sud den ly you’re sigh ing (C7)sighs;

you’re (Cm7)think ing noth ing’s (F7)wrong, you (Eb7)string a long, boy, then (A)snap!

Those (G9)eyes, those sighs, they’re (Gm7)part of the (C7)ten der (F)trap!

You’re (F)hand in hand be neath the (F#dim)trees

and (Cm7)soon there’s mu sic in the (C7)breeze;

you’re (Cm7)act ing kind of (F7)smart, un (Eb7)til your heart just goes (A)whap!

Those (G9)trees, that breeze, they’re (Gm7)part of the (C7)ten der (F)trap!

You’re (F)trap!

(CN.C.)Some star ry (E)night,

when her (A7)kiss es make you (Dm)tin (Gm7)gle,

she’ll hold you (E)tight

and you’ll (A7)hate your self for (Dm7)be (G7)ing

(Gm7)sin (Gb7)gle.

And (F#dim)all at once it seems so nice,

the (C7)folks are throw ing shoes and rice;

you (Cm)hur ry to a (F7)spot that’s (Eb7)just a dot on the (A)map!

You (G9)won der how it (Gm7)all came a (Gm7)bout it’s (A)too late now, there’s (D7)no get ting out.

You (Gm)fell in (Gm(maj7))love, and (Gm7)love is the (C7)ten (Gb7)der (F)trap!
