Could be a spoonful of coffee

Could be a spoonful of tea

Just a little spoon of your precious love

Is good enough for me

Men lies about a little

Some of them cries about a little

Might even die about a little

Everybody's fightin' about it

That spoon, that spoon, that

That spoon, that spoon, that

Could be a spoonful of diamonds

Could be a spoonful of gold

Just a little spoon of your precious love

Satisfied my soul

Men lies about a little

Some of them cries about a little

Might even die about a little

Everybody's fightin' about it

That spoon, that spoon, that

That spoon, that spoon, that

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Could be a spoonful of water

Save you from the desert sand

Just a little spoon from a forty five

Save you from another man

Men lies about a little

Some of them cries about a little

Might even die about a little

Everybody's fightin' about it

That spoon, that spoon, that

That spoon, that spoon, that

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
