Bernadette

(album: First Ya Gotta Shake The Gate - 2014)

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, needing 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 Bernadette

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

(Sweet Bernadette)
(Sweet Bernadette)

So whatever you do, Bernadette
Keep on loving me, Bernadette
Keep on needing me, Bernadette
Bernadette

Bernadette (Bernadette)
You're the soul of me
More than a dream, you're a plan to me
And Bernadette, you mean more to me
Than a woman was ever meant to be
Bernadette
Bernadette, my darling
