Lyrics
You know I work, work, work, pretty woman
What have I got to show?
The only you thing you give me, babe is
Hard way to go
I'm gonna raise up both of my hands now, baby
I'm gonna holler, "What's the use?"
You know I oughta, but I ain't a
Listen, baby, I can't cut you a-loose
You know I talk to you, baby
You don't seem to understand
While I'm standin' here askin' you why, baby
You know you were workin' your pretty little hair
I'm gonna raise up both of my hands now, baby
I'm gonna holler, "Lord, hey, what's the use?"
You know I oughta, but I ain't a
I should pack my bags and leave you, a-cut you a-loose
Lord, don't let me cut you loose
Well, I'm tryin' to tell you, baby
Things I said just yesterday
I came home from work this afternoon, woman
You said you had to go out and play
You know I'm gonna raise up both of my hands now, baby
I'm gonna holler, "Lord, what's the use?"
You know I oughta, but I ain't a gonna take a chance
Mama, mama, don't let me cut you a-loose
Please don't let me cut you a-loose
You gon' suffer?
Should be a spoonful of diamonds
It should be a spoonful of gold
Just a little spoonful of your precious love
Satisfies my soul
Everybody's talkin'
'Bout a little spoonful
Spoonful of love
Nothin' but love
I don't know why
Lord, I just don't know why
That nobody knows about
A little spoonful
A spoonful of love
A spoonful of love
A spoonful of love, love, love, love, love, hey
Mmhmm
Oh, everybody needs a little
