[Intro]
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Verse 1]
Real love is the only way to start
Illuminate the shadows of my heart
The city is the only place to go
But we can take it fast or take it slow
[Pre-Chorus]
When we move across the floor
We are golden for sure
[Chorus]
We live in a world, rich and the poor
People are crying, we can't ignore
But here in this place, we have the moment
It feels so good to be understood and to be golden
[Post-Chorus]
Shine, shine
Can you dig it? Can you dig it?
Golden
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
I know your life is heavy like the rain
But that don't mean you have to be ashamed
Take a step back and watch the garden grow
Let me show you that you're not alone
[Pre-Chorus]
When we move across the floor
We are golden for sure
[Chorus]
We live in a world, rich and the poor
People are crying, we can't ignore
But here in this place, we have the moment
It feels so good to be understood and to be golden
[Post-Chorus]
Shine, shine
Can you dig it? Can you dig it?
Can you dig it? Can you dig it?
Can you dig it? Can you dig it?
[Bridge]

(Like a woman)
(Like a woman)
I don't want to be a man (Like a woman)
I don't want to be a woman
I just want to be golden (Like a woman)
I don't want to be a man (Like a woman)
I don't want to be a woman
I just want to be golden (Like a woman)
I don't want to be a man (Like a woman)
I don't want to be a woman
I just want to be golden (Like a woman)
I don't want to be a man (Like a woman)
I don't want to be a woman
I just want to be golden (Like a woman)
[Outro]
Ah (Like a woman)
(Like a woman)
(Like a woman)
