Could fill spoons full of diamonds
Could fill spoons full of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Will satisfy my soul
    
Men lies about it
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies about it
Everything's a-fightin' about the spoonful
    
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
    
Could fill spoons full of coffee
Could fill spoons full of tea
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Is that enough for me?
    
Could fill spoons full of water
Save them from the desert sands
But a little spoon of your forty-five
Saved you from another man
