(Intro - Clean electric guitar riff with light percussion) (Verse 1) She walks in wearing sunset, paint-stained cut-off jeans Hair still damp from showerin', smellin' like lavender dreams I'm standin' at the kitchen counter, spinn' silver in my hand Watchin' her move through the room, tryin' to understand How a boy like me got lucky, how she ended up right here She catches me starin', smiles and says "What you doin', baby, with that gear?" (Chorus) 'Cause she's my little spoon, yeah, she fits right in the curve Every single part of me is built to fit every single part of her There's big ones for the chili, there's long ones for the tea But when she curls up close to me, that's where I'm supposed to be Yeah, I'm the bowl that holds her, steady and I'm true And when she's lyin' there in front of me, there ain't no better view My little spoon. (Guitar Solo 1 - Bright acoustic picking with electric fills) (Verse 2) Two A.M. and thunder rolls, she jumps up from the sheet I pull her close and whisper "Baby, I'm right here, go back to sleep" She tucks her head beneath my chin, her back against my chest The storm could shake the windows out and I'd still feel blessed 'Cause in the dark she fits so perfect, like we were made to lay this way She mumbles "I love how we fit," then fades off, come what may (Chorus) 'Cause she's my little spoon, yeah, she fits right in the curve Every single part of me is built to fit every single part of her There's big ones for the chili, there's long ones for the tea But when she curls up close to me, that's where I'm supposed to be Yeah, I'm the bowl that holds her, steady and I'm true And when she's lyin' there in front of me, there ain't no better view My little spoon. (Bridge) I've held a lot of silver in my thirty-some years on this earth But none of it compares to what that little spoon is worth She's the one I reach for when the day has had its say She's the one I hold onto when the light begins to fade It ain't about the metal, it's the shape that love has made (Chorus) 'Cause she's my little spoon, yeah, she fits right in the curve Every single part of me is built to fit every single part of her There's big ones for the chili, there's long ones for the tea But when she curls up close to me, that's where I'm supposed to be Yeah, I'm the bowl that holds her, steady and I'm true And when she's lyin' there in front of me, there ain't no better view My little spoon. (Guitar Solo 2 - Slide guitar, soulful and warm) (Outro) (Softly) Yeah... my little spoon She's the only one I want Spoonin' in the kitchen Spoonin' on the lawn (Whispered) My little spoon... (Final strum, let ring)
