Chokin' Kind Lyrics - Skeeter Davis

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 run 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 breathe, don't make your love the chokin' kind
