I only meant to love you
Didn't you know it baby, didn't you know it
Why couldn't you be content, with the love I gave? (oh yeah yeah)

I gave you my heart
But you wanted my mind
Your love scares me to death, boy
It's the choking kind, that's all it is

See you can kill a girl
with a bottle of poison or a knife, I know you can
But it'll hurt her more to take her pride and ruin her life
It's a shame, it's a shame, boy

Whatever it is, boy
I surely hope you find (oh yeah yeah)
I tell you that hat don't fit my head
It's the choking kind

(it makes me wanna ... hmm)

When you fall in love, oh boy, take a tip from me (oh yeah yeah)
If you don't like the peach, then walk on by the tree
That's what you better do honey, honey

Find what you want boy
Keep it, treat it sweet and kind
Let it breathe
Don't go making it the choking kind
