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



(chorus
