Some people never recognise 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 all the time
  But gold it will never be
  I guess you never held on to quality
  Or you woulda recognised 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 [x2]
    Oh 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
    I guess you never held on to quality
  Or you would of recognised by now
  Something so special so true
  When she's standing right in front of you
    [Chorus]
    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 certifiedĄ-pureĄ-
    [Chorus (x2)]
