The Four Tops › Lyrics › Bernadette

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
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 pleading 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 yeah

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 need me, Bernadette

Bernadette you're the soul of me
More than a dream you are planned to me
And bernadette you mean more to me
Than a woman was ever meant, mean to be, Bernadette
