The Chokin’ Kind
[Verse 1]
I only hmm, meant to love you
Didn't you know it, baby?
Didn't you know it?
And why couldn't you be content
With the love I gave? Oh, ye-yeah
I gave you my heart, hmm
But you wanted my mind, hmm-hmm
Ooh, your love scares me to death, boy
It's the chokin' kind
That's all it is

[Verse 2]
See, 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
It's a shame, it's a shame, boy
Whatever it is, boy
I surely hope you find, oh, ye-yeah
I tell you that hat hmm, don't fit my head
Ooh, it's the chokin' kind
It makes me wanna, hmm, hmm-hmm

[Verse 3]
When you fall in love again, boy, uh
Take a tip from me, oh, ye-yeah
Ooh, if you don't like the peach
Then walk on by the tree
That's what you better do, honey, honey
Ooh, find what you want, boy
Keep it, treat it, sweet and kind, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, let it breathe, don't go making it
The chokin' kind, hmm

Don't, don't break my heart, baby, baby
(Chokin' kind, that's all it is)
I know you love me truly, truly, yeah
(Chokin' kind, that's all it is)
Really, I do, honey, oh
But your love scares me to death, boy
(Chokin' kind, that's all it is)
Yes, it does
(Chokin' kind, that's all it is)
It's the chokin' kind
That's all it is, that's all it is
Yeah, ye-ye-ye-yeah
Yeah, ye-ye-yeah
Whoa-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
