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 it gives
but bernadette i want you because
i need you to live
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 can not 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 a part of me
bernadette
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
sweet bernadette
for the only joy in life is to be loved
sweet bernadette
so whatever you do bernadette
keep on loving me
bernadette keep on needing me
bernadette
bernadette
you’re the soul of me
more than a dream you’re a plan to me
and bernadette you mean more to me
than a woman was ever meant to be
