The Chokin' Kind

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, 'cause 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, I hope you find

But that hat don't fit my head 'cause 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 and don't let go of the chokin' kind

Let it breathe, don't let go, your love is the chokin' kind
