The Chokin’ Kind

Harlan Howard

[Verse 1]
I only meant to love you
Didn't you know it, babe (Didn't you know it)
Didn't you know it (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 yes, you did, girl
And your love scares me to death
Oh, it's the chokin' kind
Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
You can kill a man
With a bottle of poison or a knife
I know you can
But it'll hurt him more to take his pride
And ruin his life
Oh ain't it a shame, girl
Now, whatever it is
I surely hope you will find, oh yeah
I tell you that hat don't fit my head
Oh, it's the chokin' kind
Oh, yeah

[Bridge]
It makes me wanna
Oooh oooh
Oh
Oh yeah

[Verse 3]
When you fall in love again, girl
Take a tip from me, if you would
If you don't likе the peach, walk on by the tree
That's what you bеtter do
Find what you want girl
Keep it, treat it sweet and kind, oh yeah
Oh, let it breathe
Oh, don't make it the chokin' kind (Chokin' kind, chokin' kind, chokin' kind)
Oh, no

[Outro]
Don't break my heart, girl, oh no
I know you love me, really I do
Your love speaks for itself
It's the chokin' kind
Scares me to death
It's the chokin' kind
Just can't help myself
