| Bernadette, people are searching for
 | 
| The kind of love that we possess
 | 
| (Bernadette)
 | 
| Some go on searching their whole life through
 | 
| And never find the love I found in you
 | 
| And when I speak of you
 | 
| I see envy in othermen’s eyes
 | 
| An’I’m well aware of what’s on their mind
 | 
| They pretend to be my friend but 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)
 | 
| Bernadette, they want you because
 | 
| Of pride that it gives
 | 
| (Bernadette)
 | 
| 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!
 | 
| (Bernadette)
 | 
| I’ll tell the world
 | 
| You belong to me
 | 
| I’ll tell the world
 | 
| You’re the soul of me
 | 
| (Bernadette)
 | 
| I’ll tell the world
 | 
| You’re a part of me Oh, yeah!
 | 
| In your arms I find a kind of peace of mind
 | 
| The world is searching for
 | 
| But you, you give me the joy
 | 
| This heart of mine has always been longin’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
 | 
| So, whatever you do, Bernadette
 | 
| Keep on loving me (Bernadette)
 | 
| Bernadette, keep on needin’me, Bernadette
 | 
| Bernadette!
 | 
| (Bernadette)
 | 
| You’re the soul-a me More than a dream
 | 
| You’re the plan to me And Bernadette
 | 
| (Bernadette)
 | 
| You mean more to me Than a woman was ever meant to be Bernadette
 | 
| FADES-
 | 
| My darling, Bernadette. |
