Who I Am - Beverly Knight

Mmm…oh…ho…


Some people never recognize it
Though it’s right before their eyes and shines in all
its glory
They never ever see
They choose something that looks just like it
And it may glitter for the time, but gold it’ll never
be


I guess you never held on to quality
Or you woulda recognized by now
Something so special, so true
When it’s standing right in front of you


I’m gold, babe
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don’t know
Pure gold, babe
You’re looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth, you wouldn’t let go


I’m gold, babe
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don’t know
Pure gold, babe
You’re looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth, you wouldn’t let go


Oh, no
No


Gold lies in rivers undiscovered
Hidden from the sight of those who don’t know what to
look for
They ain’t never gonna find it
Sometimes the value is uncovered
Other times it’s cast aside by those who are just
unsure, oh


I guess you never held on to quality
Or you woulda recognized by now
Something so special, so true
And she’s standing right in front of you


I’m gold, babe
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don’t know
Pure gold, babe
You’re looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth, you wouldn’t let go


I’m gold, babe
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don’t know
Pure gold, babe
You’re looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth, you wouldn’t let go


‘Cause all the things you failed to see
Separated you from me
I decide who wins my time
And who comes inside, yeah
‘Cause what is true and what is real
Finds a way of being revealed
I don’t have to even try
‘Cause I’m certified pure


Gold, baby
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don’t know
Pure gold, babe
You’re looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth, you wouldn’t let go


I’m gold, babe
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don’t know
Pure gold, babe
You’re looking at the real thing
And if you knew my worth, you wouldn’t let go


Oh, gold
Oh, no, no, no
Pure gold, pure gold, pure gold, pure gold, yes
I am
