Lyrics

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

Men lie about little
Some cry about little
Some die about little
Everybody fighting 'bout a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of coffee
Could be a spoonful of tea
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Good enough for me

Men lie about little
Some cry about little
Some die about little
Everybody fighting 'bout a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of water
Save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of lead from that forty-five
Save you from another man

Men lie about little
Some cry about little
Some die about little
Everybody fighting 'bout a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
