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-ooh-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
