Spoonful lyrics

It could be a spoonful of coffee

It could be a spoonful of tea

But one little spoon of your precious love

Is good enough for me

Men lie about that spoonful

Some cry about that spoonful

Some die about that spoonful

Everybody fight about a spoonful

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of water

To save you from the desert sand

But one spoon of love from my forty five

Will save you from another man

Men lie about that spoonful

Some cry about that spoonful

Some die about that spoonful

Everybody fightin' about a spoonful

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of sugar

It could be a spoonful of tea

But one little spoon of your precious love

Is good enough for me

Men lie about that spoonful

Some cry about that spoonful

Some die about that spoonful

Everybody fightin' about a 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
