BERNADETTE

It's the time of year again where the loquats bloom
We're sleeping in 'til noon, never coming out our rooms
Yeah, yeah, your father doesn't like when we watch kung fu
But that's okay, we're just working on our moves

And on your twenty-first birthday, it'll be perfect
They say that I'm planning too far ahead
But on your twenty-first birthday
I know you'll still love me, Bernadette

I hope you still love me, Bernadette
Da-da-da, ah
I hope you still love me, Bernadette (Ah)
(Yeah, it's okay, um)

Well, I'm at the back door
You can sleep out on the screen porch (How come?)
That's what it's made for
We'll wake up at midnight, listen to the rainstorm
And if anybody's wondering
I dropped out of college (College) for knowledge (For knowledge)

And on my twenty-first birthday, it was so perfect
I went go-karting with all my friends
But on my twenty-first birthday
Well, where was Bernadette? (Where'd she go? Where's she at?)

I couldn't find you, Bernadette (Where's she at? Where's she at?)
I don't know where you are, Bernadette
Where was Bernadette? (Where's she at? Where's she at?)
Where was Bernadette? (Where's she at? Where's she at?)
Where was Bernadette? (Seriously, where's this girl at?)
I hope you still love—

You could come over
I'm falling apart here, baby (You said that you could come over)
You could come over
I'm falling apart here lately (Why don't you wanna come over?)
You could come over
I'm falling apart, but I'm playing fine (You could just tell him it's over)
Yeah, mm (If it's over)

But on her twenty-first birthday, it was all worth it
I'm done waiting 'round for somebody else (It's about time)
So on her twenty-first birthday
I didn't think of Bernadette (Aw, yeah)

Now, I never think of Bernadette
I used to always think of Bernadette
Now, I don't think of Bernadette
And I just met Julie—
