  • I was a side dish for her main prey
    I did not like this, yeah needless 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 proceeded 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 embarrassed, all my friends were there
    So I pretended that I didn't care
    But on the 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 I'm drunk on a night bus
    Meeting with an old flame
    Now I'm 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
