Bernadette  -  The  Four  Tops

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    needing  you  wanting  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

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.

Bernadette.

Your  the  soul  of  me

more  than  a  dream  your  a  plan  to  me.

you  mean  more  to  me

than  a  woman  was  ever  meant  to  be.
