[Intro]
Mmm
Hmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
Men lies about little
Some of 'em cries about little
Some dies about littles
Everything fight about
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Men lies about that
Some of 'em dies about that
Some of 'em cries about that
But everything's fight about
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
[Verse 3]
Oh, and it could be a spoonful of water
Save you from the desert sand
One spoon of lead from a fourty-five
Save you from another man

[Chorus 3]
Men lies about that
Some of 'em cries about that
Everybody dies about that
We're all fighting for that loving spoon
That spoon, that spoonful
Spoon, that spoon, that spoon, here we go
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
