- Willie Dixon
Well it could be a spoon
for coffee
It could be a spoon for
tea
Just a little spoon of your
precious love
Is good enough for me
There been lies about that
spoonful
Some people cry about that
spoonful
Some others die about that
spoonful
But everyone’s fighting
about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that
spoonful
That spoon, that spoon,
that spoonful
Well it could be a spoon
for quarters
It could be a spoon for
dimes
But a little spoon of your
precious love
Gets me every time
There been lies about that
spoonful
Some people cry about that
spoonful
Some others die about that
spoonful
But everyone’s fighting
about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that
spoonful
That spoon, that spoon,
that spoonful
Well it could be a spoon
for diamonds
Could be a spoon for gold
Just a little spoon of your
precious love
Satisfies my soul
There been lies about that
spoonful
Some people cry about that
spoonful
Some others die about that
spoonful
But everyone’s fighting
about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that
spoonful
That spoon, that spoon,
that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that
spoonful
