[Verse 1]
Well, it could be a spoonful of coffee
It could be a spoonful of tea
Well, just a little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me

[Chorus]
Men lyin' about that
Some of 'em cryin' about that
Some of 'em dyin' about that
Everybody's fightin' about spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoon

[Verse 2]
Well, it could a spoonful of diamonds
It could be a spoonful of gold
Well, just a little spoon of your precious love
Satisfy my soul

[Chorus]
Men lyin' about that
Some of 'em cryin' about that
Some of 'em dyin' about that
Well, everybody's fightin' about spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoon
[Verse 3]
Well, could be spoonful of water
Oh, save you from the desert sand
Well, just a little spoon of them 45's
Save you from another man

[Chorus]
Men lyin' about that
Some of 'em cryin' about that
Some of 'em dyin' about that
Well, everybody's fightin' about spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoon
