Trapped

About Trapped

"Trapped" is a single released by American musician Colonel Abrams in 1985. It has since become known as Abrams' signature song and still receives airplay on dance radio stations in the UK and the US. This song has arguably remained Abrams' biggest hit on both sides of the Atlantic, topping the US Hot Dance Club Play chart for one week in September 1985 and peaking at number 20 on the soul chart. Overseas, it went to number three on the UK Singles Chart. This track was also remixed by Boards of Canada under their Hell Interface pseudonym. The resulting track, also called "Trapped", was released on Skam Record's MASK 200. On the October 9, 2014 episode of BBC television program Mock the Week, Abrams track "Trapped" featured as a large constituent of a section concerning the use of Private Browsing, in which comedians Dara Ó Briain (hosting), and Ed Byrne (panelist) could not stop laughing during its recording. In 2014, the track was sampled by Belgian band The Subs in their cover of the track, reaching the charts, and released on their album Hologram. Mike Stock of Stock Aitken Waterman claims that "Trapped" was a big influence on the 1987 Rick Astley smash hit "Never Gonna Give You Up". more »

Should I listen what you say 
Or listen what your folks say? 
It's a tough decision to make 
I don't really wanna lose you 
But I don't want your folks to 
Turn me over to the hands of the law 

I guess they think that
I'm not good enough for you
I can tell the way they act and their attitudes
(As the tears roll from my eyes)
As the tears roll from my eyes
I feel the hurt inside 
(As I reach, reach out to you)
As I reach out to you saying I'm so confused 

Oh, oh I'm trapped 
Like a fool I'm in a cage
I can't get out 
You see I'm trapped 
Can't you see I'm so confused?
I can't get out 

You see I'm trapped 
Like a fool I'm in a cage
I can't get out
You see I'm trapped 
Can't you see I'm so confused? 
I can't get out

If you love one another 
Why should you let this go further? 
Can't you see it's gonna pull us apart 
If you think I can't afford to 
Support you if you want to 
Ever think about ever settlin' down?

I guess they think that
I'm not good enough for you
I can tell the way they act and their attitudes
(As the tears roll from my eyes)
As the tears roll from my eyes
I feel the hurt inside 
(As I reach, reach out to you)
As I reach out to you saying I'm so confused

Oh, oh I'm trapped 
Like a fool I'm in a cage
I can't get out 
You see I'm trapped 
Can't you see I'm so confused? 
I can't get out 

You see I'm trapped 
Like a fool I'm in a cage 
I can't get out 
You see I'm trapped 
Can't you see I'm so confused? 
I can't get out
Oh, oh, oh, oh!

(Can't you see I'm so trapped 
And I don't know what to do 
Can't you see I'm so trapped
So in love with you.)

See I'm trapped 
And I'm so confused 
I'm like a man in a cage 
And I'm so in love with you

I'm trapped 
(Can't you see I'm so trapped)
Your thoughts are in the way 
(And I don't know what to do)
And I don't know what to say 
(Can't you see I'm so trapped)
You see I'm trapped
(So in love with you)

Oh I told myself 
(Trapped)
If I ever love again 
(Trapped)
What am I gonna do about it? 
(Trapped)
Say it again
(Trapped) 

Oh baby I'm trapped
(Can't you see I'm so trapped)
I'm so confused
(And I don't know what to do) 
I'm like a man in a cage
(Can't you see I'm so trapped)
And I'm so in love with you 
(So in love with you)
Love with you
Love with you

Oh I'm trapped 
(Trapped)
Feel so confused 
So depressed
(Trapped) 
Hey, I'm so in love with you 

Oh I'm trapped baby 
Oh I'm trapped baby
Hey, hey, hey, hey 
Oh I'm trapped baby

(Can't you see I'm so trapped 
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see I'm so trapped 
So in love with you
I'm going out of my head 
It seems I'm crazy for you
I'm going out of my head for you)

Real, this love you're giving me
Oh girl!
What I'm gonna do about it?
But it's so confusing
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm so confused
