Well, it might have been a spoonful of coffee
It might have been a spoonful of tea
Just one spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me

I've been lyin' about that
I've been cryin' about that
I've been dyin' about that
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Well, it might have been a spoonful of water
To save you from the desert sand
Just one spoon of your precious love
Save you from another man

I've been lyin' about that
I've been cryin' about that
I've been dyin' about that
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
Well, it might have been a spoonful of diamonds
It might have been a spoonful of gold
Just one spoon of your precious love
Satisfy my soul

I've been lyin' about that
I've been cryin' about that
I've been dyin' about that
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
