Heading down that highway again; I've been that road before,
Never wanted that way to be my way again,
I've had the best, but this time less is more.

Never should've made you my reason to live, 'cause it killed me, baby, when you walked out that door,
I'm loosing interest in your shady loan of love,
My only saving grace is the good Lord above.

Well, I really want to know what it feels like to have and hold a precious love, a love like gold,
I really wanna know what it feels like: the real thing, a love like gold.

I thought our love was higher than high 'til we crashed and burned, yeah, burned so hot,
Guess we didn't have the wings it takes to fly high in the matters of the heart,
We fell hard.

Will our broken wings ever come to mend'
Can a broken heart learn to love again' - Yeah.

Said, I want to know what it feels like to have and hold a precious love, a love like gold,
I really wanna know what it feels like: a precious love, a love like gold.

Don't want the kind of gold to keep to myself,
I want the kind that I can give to someone else.

Well, said I really want to know what it feels like to have and hold a precious love, a real love,
I really wanna know what it feels like: the precious baby, a love like gold,
I really want to know what it feels like to have and hold the real deal, a love that's real,
I really wanna know what it feels like: a precious love, love like gold,
The real thing, a love like gold,
A lowly ring, love like gold,
A precious love, love like gold,
Yeah, love like gold.
