Spoonful

Well, it could be a spoonful of diamonds

Could be a spoonful of gold

One little spoon of my baby's love

Satisfy my soul

Could be a spoonful of coffee

Could be a spoonful of tea

Just a little spoon of my baby's love

Good enough for me

They lied about that spoonful

And they cried about a spoonful

Everybody die by the spoonful

Spoon, that spoonful

That spoon

That spoon

That spoonful

Well, now, could be a spoonful of water

Saved from the desert sand

Spoonful of lead from a forty-five

Saved you from another man

They lie about that spoonful

Cry about a spoonful

Everybody dies by the spoonful

Spoon, a little spoonful

That spoon

That spoon

That spoonful

Yeah, it could be a spoonful of pleasure

Could be a spoonful of blood

Could be a spoonful of anything you need

That you can't seem to get enough of

They lie about a spoonful

They cry about a spoonful

People they die by the spoonful

Spoon, a little spoonful
