The Choking Kind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I only meant to love you
Didn't you know it baby?
Didn't you know it? (Didn't you know it, baby?)
Why couldn't you be content
With the love I gave, yeah?

[Verse 2]
I gave you my heart, baby
But you wanted my mind, oh yeah
Your love scares me to death, man
It's the choking kind (The choking kind)
(Choking kind)

[Verse 3]
You can kill a girl
With a bottle of poison or a knife
I know you can
It would hurt her more to take her pride
And ruin her life, oh, it's a shame

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, choking kind

[Verse 4]
I only meant to love you
Didn't you know it baby?
Didn't you know it? (Didn't you know it, baby?)
Why couldn't you be content
With the love I gave, yeah?

[Verse 5]
I gave you my heart, baby
But you wanted my mind, yes you did
Your love scares me to death, man
It's the chokin' kind (Choking kind)
(Choking kind)

[Verse 6]
You can kill a girl
With a bottle of poison or a knife
It would hurt her more to take her pride
And ruin her life, oh, it's a shame
Find what you want
Keep it, treat it sweet and kind, yeah
I tell you that hat don't fit my head
It's that chokin' kind (Choking kind)
(Choking kind)

[Verse 7]
Whatever it is, I surely hope you find it, oh, yeah
Oh, let it breathe
Don't make it that chokin' kind

[Bridge]
It makes me wanna, mmm mmm mmm mmm, yeah
Oh yeah, mmm mmm mmm mmm (Choking kind)
(Choking kind)

[Outro]
Tell you your love, your love, your love, baby
Your love scares me to death, now
It's that choking kind, yeah
(Choking kind)
(Choking kind)
