[Db] [Ab] [Db]
I only meant to love you, [Bbm] didn't you know it baby, didn't you know it?
[Db] Why couldn't you be [Eb] content with the [Ab] love I gave?
Oh yes, I gave you my heart, but you wanted my [Bbm] mind.
Oh yes, your love scared [Eb] me to death girl, oh with [Ab] a choking eye, that's all it is.
You can't kill a man with a bottle of [Bbm] poison or a knife.
I know you can't, never [Db] hurt him more, to [Eb] take his pride, never [Ab] earn his life.
Oh it's a shame girl, whatever it is girl, I surely [Bbm] hope you're fine.
Oh yes, I [Db] tell you that hat don't fit [Eb] my head.
Oh with a [Ab] choking kind, oh yes, it make me wanna, mmm, mmm, [Db] mmm.
[Bb] Oh yes, [Eb]
oh [Bb] listen to me, when you fall in love again girl, [Cm] take a tip from me.
Oh yes, if [Eb] you don't like [F] a peach, walk [Bb] on by the tree, that's what you better [Eb] do honey.
[Bb] Find what you want girl, keep it, treat it [Cm] sweet and kind.
Oh yes, [Eb] oh let it bleed, [F] oh think of the choking [Bb] kind.
Oh no, [Eb] [Bb] don't break your heart baby, oh no, [Bb] I know you love me, really I do honey.
I tell you girl, still a bit reluctant, with a choking kind, that's all it is, I got to say it again if I want.
[Eb] [E]
