I Like to Be the Little Spoon

I like to be the big spoon when your head is in my lap

Or on my shoulder or my chest, perhaps having a nap

I like to be the little spoon when I need a cuddle

I tend to need it most when all my thoughts are in a muddle

I like to be the big spoon when you’re not feeling well

When you don’t have to tell me, you just know that I can tell

I like to be the little spoon when we are nose to nose

And I can stare into your eyes and hope that my love shows

I like to be the big spoon when we are in the bath

All vulnerable and naked, and you trust me not to laugh

I like to be the little spoon when we’re not even spooning

‘Cause when you’re looking after me, I can’t be hurt by anything
