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

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
