The Chokin' Kind

The Chokin' Kind - Ella Fitzgerald

I only meant to love you

Don't you know it babe

Why couldn't you be contented

With the love I gave

I've given you my heart

But now you want my mind

Your love scares me to death girl

It's the chokin' kind

You can kill a girl

With bullets poison or a knife

But it hurts him more

To take her pride and run her life

Whatever it is you want boy

I hope you find

But that hat don't fit my head

It's the chokin' kind

When you fall in love again baby

Take a tip from me

If you don't like the peaches

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

The chokin' kind
