Lyrics

They long to persuade you from my side
They'd give the world and all they own, oh Bernadette
For just one moment we have known
But Bernadette, you belong to me, mmm
Bernadette, they want you because
Of the pride that it is
But Bernadette, I want you because
Lord, I need you, I need you to live
But while I live wantin' to hold you
Some other men, you know they want to control you
But how can they control you, Lord, Bernadette?
Oh, when they, when they can not control themselves
From wanting you and needing you
But darlin', darlin', you belong to me
Bernadette, people are searching for
The kind of love that we possess
Some go on searching their whole lives 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 (Sweet Bernadette)
And I'm well aware of what's on their minds (Sweet Bernadette)
They pretend to be my friends, but all the time
They long to persuade you, baby, from my side
They'd give the world and all they own
For just one moment we have long
Bernadette (Bernadette), I love you because
Of the pride that it gives
But Bernadette, Lord (Bernadette), I love you because
I need you to live, oh Lord
If your arms are cryin' out
For the peace of mind world has been searchin' for
But you, you give me the joy this heart
This heart of mine has been longin' for
In you I have what other men long for (Want you 'cause you're mine)
All men need someone to worship and adore
That's why I treasure you and place you high above
For the only joy, girl, is to be loved
So whatever you do, Bernadette
Keep on lovin' me (Bernadette)
Oh, Bernadette (Lovin' me)
Keep on needin' me (Bernadette)
Bernadette (Needin' me)
Keep on lovin' me, oh Bernadette (Lovin' me)
Keep on needin' me, oh Bernadette, oh (Needin' me)
Bernadette, keep on lovin' me (Lovin' me)
Love me, love me, my whole life through (Bernadette)
Bernadette, said I need you (Bernadette)
Lord, I love you Berna', oh, got you back (Bernadette)
I love you, Lord, I love you (Bernadette)
I need you, I want you, by my side (Bernadette)
Ohh, Bernadette, yeah (Bernadette)
Said I love you, baby, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Bernadette)
