Cupid's Chokehold Lyrics

Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot It's been some time since we last spoke This is gonna sound like a bad joke But momma I fell in love again It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend And I know it sounds so old But cupid got me in a chokehold And I'm afraid I might give in Towels on the mat, my white flag is wavin' I mean she even cooks me pancakes And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches If that ain't love Then I don't know what love is We even got a secret handshake And she loves the music that my band makes I know I'm young But if I had to choose her or the sun I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot It's been awhile since we talked last And I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast But, dad, I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one Type of girl that'll make you way proud of your son And I know you heard the last song About the girls that didn't last long But I promise this is on a whole new plane I can tell by the way she says my name I love it when she calls my phone She even got her very own ringtone If that ain't love Then I don't know what love is It's gonna be a long drive home But I know as soon as I arrive home And I open the door Take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor She'll be back into my arms once more For sure Like Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot She's got a smile That would make the most senile Annoying old man bite his tongue I'm not done She's got eyes Comparable to sunrise And it doesn't stop there Man, I swear She's got porcelain skin Of course she's a ten And now she's even got her own song But movin' on She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard And we can be on the phone for three hours Not sayin' one word And I would still cherish every moment And when I start to build my future she's the main component Call it dumb, call it luck, call it love or whatever you call it But everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like here Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot

Meaning of Cupid's Chokehold

“Cupid’s Chokehold” is a playfully earnest ode to finding genuine love, delivered with Gym Class Heroes’ signature blend of humor and heartfelt emotion. The lyrics depict a young man completely captivated by his girlfriend – she cooks him pancakes, anticipates his needs, and even has a custom ringtone. Initially hesitant and referencing past failed relationships (“the girls that didn't last long”), he’s utterly enthralled, almost overwhelmed by the feeling of being adored and accepted. The “chokehold” metaphor represents the powerful, inescapable pull of this newfound love, admitting to a vulnerability and willingness to surrender. Ultimately, the song celebrates finding someone truly special, eliciting joy and pride – not just for himself, but for his parents as well, suggesting a profound shift from previous experiences and a hopeful embrace of lasting affection.
