Spoonful - Delbert McClinton

It could be a spoonsful of diamonds,

Could be a spoonful of gold,

Just a little spoon of your precious love,

Satisfies my soul.

Men lies about little,

Some of them cries about little,

Some of them dies about little,

Everything fight about little spoonful.

It could be a spoonful of coffee,

Could be a spoonful of tea,

But a little spoon of your precious love,

Good enough for me.

Men lies about that,

Some of them dies about that,

Some of them cries about that,

But everything fight about that spoonful.

That spoon, dat spoon, dat spoonful.

It could be a spoonsful of water,

Saved from the deserts sand,

But one spoon of them fortifies.

Save you from another man.

Men lies about that,

Some of them cries about that,

Some of them dies about that,

Everybody fightin' about that spoonful.

That spoon, dat spoon, dat spoonful.
