I was a side dish​ for her main prey I did not like this, yeah and he lives to say That when she left me I took it badly I was a right mess, you see I loved her madly I felt rejected and disrespected I thought I knew her, I stand corrected But now I'm lying here clueless as what to say 'Cause now my pillow smells like her hairspray Chokehold, chokehold (uh uh oh oh oh) Chokehold, chokehold (uh uh oh oh oh) So cold, you're so cold (uh uh oh oh oh) The way you turned on me I preceded to self-medicate I was shame-faced and I was full of hate Two weeks later, that's when I saw her I was out of breath from treading water I was embarra**ed, all my friends were there So I pretended that I didn't care But, honey, inside I was burning My hands were trembling, my stomach turning
Chokehold, chokehold (uh uh oh oh oh) Chokehold, chokehold (uh uh oh oh oh) So cold, you're so cold (uh uh oh oh oh) The way you turned on me Why do you wanna hurt me? Left me out in the rain Now drunk on a night bus Meeting with an old flame Now washing my bedsheets Hanging them out to dry Just like you did to me I guess that this is goodbye, goodbye! Chokehold, chokehold (uh uh oh oh oh) Chokehold, chokehold (uh uh oh oh oh) So cold, you're so cold (uh uh oh oh oh) The way you turned on me You got me in a chokehold, chokehold (uh uh oh oh oh) Chokehold, chokehold (uh uh oh oh oh) So cold, you're so cold (uh uh oh oh oh) The way you turned on me You got me in a chokehold Chokehold Chokehold
