Could be a spoonful of gold
 Just a little spoon of your precious love
 Satisfies my soul

 CHORUS:
 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

 (chorus
