It could be a spoonful of diamonds, yeah
Could be a spoonful of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Satisfies my soul

CHORUS:
Men lie about it, ooo they cry about it
Even die about it, everybody fights about it
Ooo that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Well t could be a spoonful of water
Saved from the desert sand
But just a little spoon of that 45
Seedy from another man

Well it could be a spoonful of coffee
Could be a spoonful of tea
But just a little spoon of your precious love, baby
Is good enough for me
