[Lyric] Trapped in a Love Affair (Brenda Holloway)

[Chorus]
Trapped in a love affair
Trapped in a love affair
Trapped in a love affair
Trapped in a love affair

[Verse 1]
Used to [?] my head up high
'Cause I could charm any fella with just a wink of an eye
And there wasn't a guy who could outfox me
I was poison in a bottle; a real love disease
But you was sly and keen about being a stranger
I let your flattery outweigh the danger
And as time went by, I grew weaker and weaker
Like a child with his hand slapped, meeker and meeker

[Pre-Chorus]
Because you camе on with a love so strong
It was hard to determinе the right from the wrong
And you rationed your love in such a small amount
Until it got to the place that every little bit counts
[Chorus]
Trapped in a love affair
Trapped in a love affair
Trapped in a love affair
Trapped in a love affair

[Verse 2]
Like a fly in a spider's web, you trapped me, baby
I tried not to show it, but you were driving me crazy
You were just too swift for me to catch you off-guard
And I began fallin', and I really felt hard
Yes indeed, you've blinded me with all your little trickery
And I'm walkin' on the line between happiness and misery
And my only solution is to beg of you
Don't take it away, whatever you do

[Pre-Chorus]
Because you came on with a love so strong
It was hard to determine the right from the wrong
And you rationed your love in such a small amount
Until it got to the place that every little bit counts

[Chorus]
Trapped in a love affair
Trapped in a love affair
Trapped in a love affair
Trapped in a love affair
[Outro]
(Can't get away from you, baby)
