Beverley Knight - Who I Am Lyrics

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
