Lyrics

They say that at the end it comes so fast
One final rush of heaven gone at last
Now I'm not meant for paradise
Though I can push just once is wise
But what's the use, I'm living in the past
But here we are now standing face to face
And I'm the one who's feeling out of place
What you see is what you get
And what I see just makes me sweat
At times like these I can't take the best
Oh my darling can't you see
Love has taken hold of me
And turned me into something that I thought I'd never be
Another strike, my hopelessness
A worried look upon my face
Is this the way that love's supposed to be?
Now you have laid this tender trap for me
I'm running just as fast as I can
But you're the girl who always gets her man
And love may end in happiness
One final word, one last caress
But I'll never know just how this love began
My eyes are closed, I'm standing on the brink
And all this talk could drive a man to drink
Nothing ever hurt so much
As the power of a woman's touch
You never give me time enough to think
Oh my darling can't you see
Love has taken hold of me
And turned me into something that I thought I'd never be
Lost for words and short of breath
I'd enter shells and scared to death
Is this the way that love's supposed to be?
Now you have laid this tender trap for me
As long as I have arms to hold you
I know I can never win
As long as you can see me standing
This tender trap will pull me in
Oh my darling can't you see
Love has taken hold of me
And turned me into something that I thought I'd never be
Lost for words and short of breath
I'd enter shells and scared to death
Is this the way that love's supposed to be?
Now you have closed this tender trap on me
Now you have closed this tender trap on me
Now you have closed this tender trap
(Now you have closed this tender trap)
Now you have closed this tender trap
(Now you have closed this tender trap)
Now you have closed this tender trap
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
