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

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
