[Verse 1]
I remember the day when our paths crossed
Way back then, in North Berlin, we were a little lost
We sat outside, smoked and smiled
Even though it was a little cold
You hugged me close when it was time to go
And from then on I've known

[Chorus]
This is real, this real
It's all that I'll ever know
I don't need no roof above my head
'Cause, baby, you're my only home
This is real, this real
It's all that I'll ever need
I don't need no riches to fill my life
'Cause, baby, you're like gold to me

[Verse 2]
And there've been days when times got hard
Life moves fast and it's a lot to ask
To share somebody's heart
You and I, we were eye-to-eye
Through the good times and the storms
Cannot say what the future will bring
But one thing is for sure
[Chorus]
This is real, this real
It's all that I'll ever know
I don't need no roof above my head
'Cause, baby, you're my only home
This is real, this real
It's all that I'll ever need
I don't need no riches to fill my life
'Cause, baby, you're like gold to me
This is real, this real
It's all that I'll ever know
I don't need no roof above my head
'Cause, baby, you're my only home
This is real, this real
It's all that I'll ever need
I don't need no riches to fill my life
'Cause, baby, you're like gold to me

[Outro]
I don't need no riches to fill my life
'Cause, baby, you're like gold to me
