Bernadette Lyrics

"Bernadette"
(Holland - Dozier - Holland)
Intro:
Verse:
Bernadette
People are searching for
The kind of love that we possess
Some go on
Searching their whole life through
B Abm /A Bb (N.C.)
And never find the love I found in you
Chorus 1:
And when I speak of you
I see envy in other men's eyes
And I'm well aware
#
Of what's on their mind
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
Verse 2:
Bernadette
They want you because
Of the pride that it gives
But Bernadette
I want you because
I need you to live
Chorus 2:
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
Verse 3:
You belong to me
I tell the world
You belong to me, I tell the world
You're the soul of me
I tell the world
You're a part of me, Bernadette
Bridge:
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
Chorus 3:
In you I have what other men are longing 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
Verse 3 (partial):
Keep on lovin' me
Bernadette
Keep on needin' me, Bernadette
(Bb) (N.C.)
Bernadette!
Verse 4:
Bernadette
You're the soul of me
More than a dream, you're clear to me
And Bernadette
You mean more to me
Than a woman was ever meant to be

Bernadette, my darling Bernadette (fade)
