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

Men lies about little
Some of them cries about little
Some of them dies about little
Everything fight about a spoonful.

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful.

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

Men lies about that
Some of them dies about that
Some of them cries about that
But everything fight about a spoonful.

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful.

Fight about a spoonful.

It could be a spoonsful of water
Save you from the deserts sand
But one spoon of them fortifies
Save you from another man

Men lies about that
Some of them cries about that
Some of them dies about that
Everybody fightin' about that spoonful.

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful.
