Bernadette

Bernadette, people are searching for the kind of love that we possess

Some go on searching their whole life through

And never find the love I've found in you

And when I speak of you, I see envy in other men's eyes

And I'm well aware of what's on their minds

They pretend to be my friend when all the time (Sweet Bernadette)

They long to persuade you from my side (Sweet Bernadette)

They'd give the world and all they own

For just one moment we have known

Bernadette, they want you because of the pride that gives

But Bernadette, I want you because I need you to live (Yeah)

But while I live only to hold you

Some other men, they long to control you

But how can they control you, Bernadette? (Sweet Bernadette)

When they cannot control themselves, Bernadette? (Sweet Bernadette)

From wanting you, needing you, but, darling, you belong to me

I'll tell the world you belong to me

I'll tell the world you're the soul of me

I'll tell the world you're part of me, Bernadette (Yeah)

In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind the world is searching for

But you, you give me the joy

This heart of mine has always been longing for

In you I have what other men long for

All men need someone to worship and adore

That's why I treasure you and place you high above

For the only joy in life is to be loved

So, whatever you do, Bernadette

Keep on lovin' me, Bernadette

Keep on needin' me, Bernadette (Yeah)

Bernadette, you're the soul of me

More than a dream, you're a prayer to me

And Bernadette, you mean more to me

Than a woman was ever meant to be
