Chokin' Kind

(Harlan Howard)



I only meant to love you don't you know it babe

Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave

I gave you my heart and now you want my mind

Your love scares me to death boy it's the chokin' kind.



You can kill a girl with poison or a gun or knife

But it hurts her more to take her pride and ruin her life

Whatever it is you want I surely hope you'll find

But boy your hat don't fit my head it's the chokin' kind.



When you fall in love again boy take a tip from me

If you don't like the peaches just walk on by the tree

Find what you want and keep it treat it sweet and kind

But let it breath, don't make your love the chokin' kind...
