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 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.
|
|
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 loving me,
|
Bernadette, keep on needing me,
|
Bernadette.
