Delbert McClinton - Spoonful Lyrics






Well, it could be a spoonful of diamonds
Could be a spoonful of gold
One little spoon of my baby's love
Satisfy my soul

Could be a spoonful of coffee
Could be a spoonful of tea
Just a little spoon of my baby's love
Good enough for me

They lied about that spoonful
And they cried about a spoonful
Everybody die by the spoonful
Spoon, that spoonful

That spoon
That spoon
That spoonful

Well, now, could be a spoonful of water
Saved from the desert sand
Spoonful of lead from a forty-five
Saved you from another man

They lie about that spoonful
Cry about a spoonful
Everybody dies by the spoonful
Spoon, a little spoonful

That spoon
That spoon
That spoonful

Yeah, it could be a spoonful of pleasure
Could be a spoonful of blood
Could be a spoonful of anything you need
That you can't seem to get enough of

They lie about a spoonful
They cry about a spoonful
People they die by the spoonful
Spoon, a little spoonful

    Writer: Willie Dixon

    It could be a spoonful of coffee
    It could be a spoonful a-tea
    But one little spoon
    Of your precious love
    Is good enough for me

    Men lie about that spoonful
    Some cry about that spoonful
    Some die about that spoonful
    Ev'rybody fight about a spoonful

    That spoon, that spoon
    That spoonful

    (guitar & instrumental)

    It could be a spoonful a-water
    To save you from the desert sand
    But one spoon of lead
    From my forty-five
    Will save you from another man

    Men lie-ii about that spoonful
    Some cry-ii about that spoonful
    Some die-ii about that spoonful
    Ev'rybody fight about a spoonful

    That spoon, that spoon
    That spoonful
    That spoon, that spoon
    That spoonful

    (guitar & instrumental)

    (piano & instrumental)

    It could be a spoonful a-sugar
    It could be a spoonful a-tea
    But one little spoon
    Of your precious love
    Is good enough for me-ee

    Men lie-ii about that spoonful
    Some cry-ii about that spoonful
    Some die-ii about that spoonful
    Ev'rybody fight about a spoonful

    That spoon, that spoon
    That spoonful
    A-that spoon, that spoon
    That spoonful

    That spoon, that spoon
    That spoonful
    That spoon, that spoon
    That spoonful

    Delbert is one of the most under-rated writers and singers of our lifetime. Interesting this LP was cast with Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section David Hood, Roger Hawkins, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Beckett with lead guitar guest John Hug. Stereo Review magazine wrote that Hug did things on this LP that are illegal in the US and Canada (guess that's a good thing).
