Lyrics

The Tender Trap

(Verse 1)
There was a time when I could see
At least a million stars
Back when I only thought about
Girls and trucks and cars

(Verse 2)
The price for what I want
Is more than what I've got
Can't control my thermostat
Between cold and super hot

(Chorus)
The tender trap
Has velvet ropes
That have lassoed
A billion dopes

The tender trap
Will capture you
Prepare to meet
Your Waterloo

(Verse 3)
Today life's just a crap shoot
That accounts for all this crap
If the girls weren't so damn pretty
I could avoid the tender trap

(Verse 4)
The tender trap is strong as steel
But soft as a summer breeze
Maintaining the status quo
Takes getting down on your knees

(Chorus)
The tender trap
Has velvet ropes
That have lassoed
A billion dopes

The tender trap
Will capture you
Prepare to meet
Your Waterloo

(Bridge)
Would someone please tell me
What I'm supposed to do
Whenever she says jump
I become a kangaroo

(Verse 5)
Chemistry dictates your fate
You feel like you've been played
The Tender Trap is magnetic
And the magic never fades

(Verse 6)
Like Pavlov's Dog stiletto heels
Increase my heartbeat's pace
Anytime she wants to come in first
I'll settle for second place

(Chorus)
The tender trap
Has velvet ropes
That have lassoed
A billion dopes

The tender trap
Will capture you
When you're a man
What can you do

(Spoken)
Now I know how Napoleon felt
