I only meant to love you don't you know it babe Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave I've given you my heart, now you want my mind Your love scares me to death girl, it's the chokin' kind. You can kill a man with bullets, poison or a knife But it hurts him more to take his pride and run his life Whatever it is you want girl I hope you find But that hat don't fit my head, it's the chokin' kind. When you fall in love again girl, take a tip from me If you don't like the peaches walk on by the tree Find what you want and keep it, treat it sweet and kind But let it breathe don't make your love the chokin' kind
