Bernadette, people are searchin' for

The kind of love that we possess

Some go on searchin' 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

They long to persuade you from my side

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

When they can not control themselves, 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, oh 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

(Sweet Bernadette)

(Sweet Bernadette)

So whatever you do, Bernadette

Keep on loving me, Bernadette

Keep on needing me, Bernadette

Bernadette

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

Bernadette

Bernadette, my darling
