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
  
 
 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
