Full Measure - 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 sticking around

With 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

It started off just stickin' around

With that wonderful feeling from you

Now there’s finally someone telling me

I can really give, too

I’ve heard them saying at Christmas

Now I can say it to you:

The feeling of giving

It’s as good as im getting from you

It’s as good as im getting from you

It’s as good as im getting from you

It’s as good as I’m getting from you
