Four Tops - Bernadette [New Stereo Version]

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

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 (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, they want you because of the pride that it gives
Bernadette, I want you because I need you to live

While I live only is to hold you
Some other men who would long to control you
How can they control you Bernadette? (Sweet Bernadette)
They can't control themselves, Bernadette (sweet Bernadette)
When loving you, wanting you
When you belong to me

I'll tell the world, you're the soul of me
I'll tell the world you're the heart of me
Bernadette

In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind
The world is searching for
But 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
And that's why I treasure you and place you high above (sweet Bernadette)
For the only joy in life is to be loved (sweet Bernadette)
So whatever you do Bernadette
Just keep loving me, Bernadette
Keep on needing me Bernadette

Bernadette (Bernadette), you're the soul of me
More than a dream, you're the plan to me
(Bernadette) You mean more to me
More than a woman was meant to be
(Bernadette) Keep on loving me
Keep on needing me
Bernadette
