Full Measure Songtext

von The Lovin' Spoonful

The full measure of your giving
You don't yet understand
A cupful of living
That you hold in your hand

The full weight of your loving
Makes me lighter than air
The tax I'm receiving
Now I know that it never was there

It started off just stickin'around
To get that wonderful feeling from you
Now there's finally someone telling me
I can really give too

I know you know the feeling
That getting something for nothing is wrong
Getting love is so easy
Giving love takes so long

I've heard them say it at Christmas
Now I can say it to you
The feeling of giving
Is as good as I'm getting from you
It's as good as I'm getting from you
