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
