When I wake in the morning time you're the only thing that lights my mind
In a daze in the afternoon you creep into my inside
When alone all the things I do are the actions of a man possessed
With the thought of a girl like you to satisfy my loneliness
When I'm lost in your world and I can't let go
I'm in a tender trap
And when you show the law no escape for sure
I'm in a tender trap
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na-na
Yes, I'm caught in the tender trap
If I said what was on my mind would you smile at me or turn away?
Just one touch can electrify and your only choice will be to stay
Let us hide for a day or two and think of all the things we'd share
All there'll be is just me and you and nobody else would give a care
When I'm lost in your world and I can't let go
I'm in a tender trap
And when you show the law no escape for sure
I'm in a tender trap
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na-na
Oh, I'm caught in the tender trap
Yeh, I'm caught in the tender trap
When I'm lost in your world and I can't let go
I'm in a tender trap
And when you show the law no escape for sure
I'm in a tender trap
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na-na
I'm caught in the tender trap
NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA-NA-NA
Yes, I'm caught in a tender trap
NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA-NA-NA
And I can't let go, I'm caught in a tender trap
NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA-NA-NA
I will never let you go, I'm in a tender trap
(repeat & fade)
In a daze in the afternoon you creep into my inside
When alone all the things I do are the actions of a man possessed
With the thought of a girl like you to satisfy my loneliness
When I'm lost in your world and I can't let go
I'm in a tender trap
And when you show the law no escape for sure
I'm in a tender trap
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na-na
Yes, I'm caught in the tender trap
If I said what was on my mind would you smile at me or turn away?
Just one touch can electrify and your only choice will be to stay
Let us hide for a day or two and think of all the things we'd share
All there'll be is just me and you and nobody else would give a care
When I'm lost in your world and I can't let go
I'm in a tender trap
And when you show the law no escape for sure
I'm in a tender trap
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na-na
Oh, I'm caught in the tender trap
Yeh, I'm caught in the tender trap
When I'm lost in your world and I can't let go
I'm in a tender trap
And when you show the law no escape for sure
I'm in a tender trap
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na-na
I'm caught in the tender trap
NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA-NA-NA
Yes, I'm caught in a tender trap
NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA-NA-NA
And I can't let go, I'm caught in a tender trap
NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA NA-NA-NA-NA-NA
I will never let you go, I'm in a tender trap
