Allen Toussaint - Chokin' Kind lyrics

I only meant to love you Didn't you know it babe 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 yeah Your love scared me to d**h, boy Oh it's the choking kind That's all it is You can k** a girl With a bottle of poison or a knife I know you can And hurt her more to take her pride And run his life Oh it's a shame boy Whatever it is boy I surely hope you find, oh yeah I tell you that hat don't fit my head Oh, it's the choking kind It makes me want to mmm' Oh yeah, oh listen to me When you fall in love again boy Take a tip from me oh yeah If you don't like the peach, Then walk on by the tree That's what you better do, honey Find what you want boy Keep it, treat it, sweet and kind, oh yeah Oh let it breathe, don't make it the choking kind Oh no, don't break my heart baby Oh no, I know you love me truly I do, honey But your love scares me to d**h boy It's the choking kind That's all it is
