You were a temptation I could not resist the bait
Now I look around me and I find theres no escape
I am like a fly caught up in a black widows web

Help me
What a fool I was not to have seen through your disguise
But your beauty blinded me it took me by surprise
I should have known better than to
Listen to your pretty alibis
I had a notion to taste the potion of love you gave me

Now that its too late how well I see

Loves a tender trap But theres to turnin back
No no not for me Im a victim of your sweet deception

And now I cant break free

Loves a tender trap But theres no turnin back
I fell in too deep

Down, down, Im sinkin down

Help me, help me, help me
Love is a trap

When I heard you calling I just couldnt help myself
I knew I was falling but it seemed like someone else
You sneaked up behind pushed me right on over the edge

Help me
You know I still love you though you treat me like you do
How can you just stand there Oh how can you be so cruel
You know you can save me
But you lock the door and throw away the key
I had a notion to taste the potion of love you gave me

Now that its too late how well I see

Loves a tender trap But theres to turnin back

No no not for me Im a victim of your sweet deception

And now I cant break free
Loves a tender trap But theres no turnin back
I fell in too deep

Down, down, Im sinkin down

Help me, help me, help me
Love is a trap
Loves a tender trap But theres to turnin back
No no not for me Im a victim of your sweet deception

And now I cant break free
Loves a tender trap But theres no turnin back

Down, down, Im sinkin down
I fell in too deep

Help me, help me, help me
Love is a trap





Help me, help me, help me
Love is a trap

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Love Trap" by 譚詠麟 speak about being trapped in a poisonous love, where the person is enticed by the beauty and charm of their partner but later realizes that they are stuck in a dangerous relationship, like a fly caught in a black widow's web. The song starts with the singer admitting that they were tempted by the bait of the other person, but now they cannot escape their love trap. The person acknowledges their mistake of not seeing through their partner's disguise since their beauty dazzled them. The lyrics depict how the singer was lured by the potion of love given by their partner, and they became a victim of their sweet deception.


As the song progresses, the person admits that they are still in love with their partner despite how they treat them. They call for help as they feel helpless and trapped, sinking deeper and deeper. However, they know that there is no turning back. The use of the term "love trap" in the song emphasizes the idea that love can often be deceptive, and people can easily fall into a trap without realizing it until it is too late.

撥著大霧默默地在覓我的去路
但願路上幸運遇著是妳的腳步
我要再見妳
祇想將心聲透露 愛慕

獨自望著路上密密畫滿的記號
像是混亂又像特別為了指我路
到處去碰 到處去看
墮入陷阱 方知太糊塗

真心被俘虜 彷彿遭圈套
探索這愛路
妳那美態已叫我醉倒

我墮入情網 妳卻在網外看
始終不釋放
妳笑笑看看我 像是望著獵物
我心已傷

我墮入情網 妳卻在網外看
始終不釋放
恨 愛 心中激盪
這陷阱 這陷阱 這陷阱
偏我遇上

Mazuin hamzah dikau 1986 brought me here

@kvlifestyle604

Brings back my childhood memories. My uncle would always play Alan Tam songs. Thank you Uncle.

@fu888fu

每次演唱會唱呢首歌必定會將氣氛推上高潮

@kay4985

This song has been recorded in Malay version, 1986 entitled "Dikau" which is sung by Mazuin Hamzah, the former singer of Quinary M.

@EmperorTam

They were composed at the same time by the same guy (Serizawa-sama.) who sold the same song twice, albeit with different arrangements. (Miyasato-chan's version has a more typical "80's anime" arrangement than Alan's version.) This album was released in January '85 and the first Megazone OAV was broadcast in March '85, but the truth is both songs were probably recorded in Japan at around the same time. (late 1984.) Back then it was common for HK artists to record songs in Japanese studios.

@aboutashow

What about Mazuin Hamza's version?

@Jayyuyu

出類拔萃 巔峰之作

@jasonsmith1143
