You come home after work and the first thing that you do   Take me into your arms and you find out how I've been   If the phone rings, nobody answers   This is time is ours alone      We're lying peaceful in the tender trap   La la, we're lying peaceful in the tender trap, la la      I can't begin to prove how much I want you   You've got to know   That you make me feel much stronger   Than anyone has the right to      We're lying peaceful in the tender trap   La la, we're lying peaceful in the tender trap, la la      When you walk through the door from a hard day's work   And someone's there to make you forget the nine to five   When they throw their arms around   You make you feel you're alive      What other heaven is there when that sweet voice says   If the phone rings, nobody answers   That's when you know working all the hours   That God sends pays the rent   But it don't cover all your needs you need a whole lot of love      La la, and when that love is real and makes you feel complete   Whoo, the world is right, la la      I can't begin to prove how much I want you   You've got to know   That you make me feel much strong   Than anyone has the right to      We're lying peaceful in the tender trap   La la, we're lying peaceful in the tender trap   La la, we're lying peaceful in the tender trap, la la
