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

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

It could be a spoonful of coffee
Could be a spoonful of tea
But a little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me

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

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

Men lies about that
Some of them cries about that
Everybody dies about that
While all fightin' for that lovin' spoon
That spoon, that spoonful
Spoon, that spoon, that spoon
Spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
