Well, it could be a spoonful of diamonds
Could be a spoonful of gold
One little spoon of my baby's love
Satisfies my soul
Could be a spoonful of coffee
Could be a spoonful of tea
Just a little spoon of my baby's love
Is good enough for me
They lie about the spoonful
And they cry about the spoonful
Everybody dies by the spoonful
Ooh, ooh, a little spoonful
Well, now it could be a spoonful of water
Saved from the desert sand
Spoonful of lead from a.45
That saved you from another man
They lie about the spoonful
Cry about the spoonful
Everybody dies by the spoonful
Ooh, ooh, a little spoonful
Well, it could be a spoonful of pleasure
Could be a spoonful of blood
Could be a spoonful of anything you need
Ah, that you can't seem to get enough of
They lie about the spoonful
They cry about the spoonful
People will die by the spoonful
Ooh, ooh, a little spoonful
Ever so ready
It can drive you crazy
It can make you want more
It can be your undoing
It can become what you're living for
Be ever so ready
'Cause evil is strong
Be ever so ready
Or you won't last too long
Talkin' 'bout a little spoonful
Little spoonful
