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 oh but 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 ruin his life
Whatever it is you want girl oh I hope you find
That hat don't fit my head it's the chokin' kind

When you fall in love again girl oh take a tip from me
If you don't like the peaches walk on by the tree
Find what you want and keep it oh just treat it sweet and kind
But let it breathe don't make your love the chokin' kind
Let it breathe don't make your love the chokin' kind
