Full Measure Lyrics - 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 

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 out just sticking around 

With that wonderful feeling from you 

Now there's finally someone telling me 

I can really give too 

I've heard them say it at Christmas 

Now I can say it too 

The feeling of giving 

It's as good as I'm getting from you 

It's as good as I'm getting from you 

It's as good as I'm getting from you 

It's as good as I'm getting from you
