Lyrics

I love you so much I need the heimlich maneuver

The sun goes down on another day
A day where I haven't found love
I try to eat, but all I taste
Is the flavor of a broken heart
Then I saw you across the room
I gasp and my breathing stops
My heart's in my throat, or is it a potato?

I love you so much, I need the hiemlich manuver
Your love sticks like a turkey bone in my throat
She's in my thoughts and it'll need a jolt to remove her
My love is consumating, while I'm asphyxiating
Over her

When I wake up, I'm on the floor
Faint, dizzy and alone
My stomach hurts, I think my ribs are cracked
Not sure if I'm in a dream
I turn my head, and there you are
I call out and my breathing stops
It's her again, crushing my esophagus

I love you so much, I need the hiemlich manuver
Your love sticks like a turkey bone in my throat
She's in my thoughts and it'll need a jolt to remove her
Before my expiration, I need resuscitation
Mouth to mouth

She throws water on my face, slaps my cheek
Helps me back on my stool
She's a waitress here, but in the night
She's a student at nursing school
She comes again with a smile and the bill
I pick it up and choke again
She's charged me for my lunch and for the medical procedure

I love you so much, I need the hiemlich manuver
Your love sticks like a turkey bone in my throat
She's in my thoughts and it'll need a jolt to remove her
For my lasting endurance, I'll need medical insurance
For my bill
For me to get some peace, I'll need a tracheotomy
And an airbag
