It could be a spoonful of diamond
It could be a spoonful of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
It would Satisfy my soul

Men lies about little
Some of them cries about little
Some of them dies about littles
Everything fight about a spoonful
That spoon, That spoon, that

It could be a spoonful of coffee
It Could be a spoonful of tea
But a little spoon of your precious love
Well that's Good enough for me

Men lies about that
Some of them cries about that
Some of them dies about that
But everything fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that
That spoon, that spoon, that

that spoonful
yeah

It could be a spoonful of water
Save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of lead from my 45
Save you from another man

Men lies about that
Some of them cries about that
Some of them dies about that
Everything fightin' about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that
That spoon, that spoon, that
That spoon, that spoon, that
