I only meant to love you
Didn't you know it babe
Didn't you know it
Why couldn't you be content
With the love I gave oh yeah
I gave you my heart
But you wanted my mind, oh yeah
Your love scares me to death, boy
Oh it's the chokin kind
That's all it is
You can kill a girl
With a bottle of poison or a knife
I know you can
It'll hurt her more to take her pride
And ruin her life
Oh it's a shame boy
Whatever it is boy
I surely hope you find, oh yeah
I tell you that hat don't fit my head
Oh, it's the chokin kind
It makes me wanna mmm mmm mmm mmm
Oh yeah, oh listen to me
When you fall in love again boy
Take a tip from me oh yeah
If you don't like the peach, walk on by the tree
That's what you better do, honey
When you find what you want boy
Keep it, treat it, sweet and kind, oh yeah
Oh let it breathe, don't make it the chokin kind
Oh no, don't break your heart baby
Oh no, I know you love me truely truely really I do, honey
I tell you your love scares me to death boy
It's the chokin kind
That's all it is
I got to say it again
It's that old chokin kind
