Allen Toussaint - Chokin' Kind

Текст песни

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 all my mind, oh yeah
Don’t you know your love scared me to death, boy
Oh, it’s the chokin' kind
That’s what it is
Don’t you know you can kill a man
With a bottle of poison or a knife, oh yeah
But it hurt him more to take his pride
And ruin his life, oh it’s a shamegirl
Whatever it is, girl
I surely hope you find, oh yeah
I tell you that a hat that don’t fit my head
Oh, it’s the chokin' kind, that’s what it is
It makes me want to stop
In the middle of what I’m doin' and try and explain to ya
Whenever you fall in love
Please take a tip from me oh yeah
If you don’t, you don’t like the peach
Just-a walk on by the tree
That’s what you better do, honey
Find what you want, girl
Keep it, treat it, sweet and kind, oh yeah
Oh let it breathe
Don’t make it the chokin' kind
That’s what you better do, honey
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
(Chokin' kind)
