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 but now 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 run his life
Whatever it is you want, girl, Lord I hope you find
But that hat don`t fit my head, it`s the chokin` kind

(Instrumental Break)

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, don`t make your love the chokin` kind

Oh, baby bye-bye, baby bye-bye, baby bye-bye, oh baby bye-bye
Bye-bye baby, baby bye-bye
