Bernadette People are searching for The kind of love that we possess Some go on Searching their whole life through Cb Abm /A Bb [N.C.] And never find the love I found in you

Chorus

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

Bernadette They want you because Of the pride that it gives But Bernadette I want you because I need you to live

Chorus

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

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 Bb Cbdim The world is searching for But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine has always Been longing for
