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 and 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
But 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
