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 (OHHHH)

But while I live only to hold ya
Some other men, they long to control ya
But how can they control you Bernadette (sweet Bernadette)
When they can not control themselves, Bernadette (sweet 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
Bernadette ((OHhhhh)

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 (sweet Bernadette)
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 OOHHHH
Bernadette, you're the soul of me
Bernadette, please you're a part of me
And Bernadette, you mean more to me
That woman was ever meant to be ...

My darling, Bernadette

I don't wanna leave, Bernadette,
But I don't wanna live with the jet set.
I don't wanna leave with you payin' all my debts,
With that alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
You've never done a day's work in your life,
You've got no incentive.
You've made a career out of punting off all of the men you've slept with.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
I can't get a job, Bernadette,
So all that I can offer are a lot of bad debts
If you marry me, Bernadette,
You'll lose the alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
You've never done a day's work in your life,
You've got no incentive.
You've made a career out of punting off all of the men you've slept with.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
Ooh, Bernadette, Bernadette.
Ooh, Bernadette, Bernadette.
[Bernadette's got a house in the country,
She's really got it made.
Her lawyers made her filthy rich,
She's got all expenses paid.]
Maybe a famous rock star will fly you away,
Then you'll eat him all up,
And spit him out,
With a dash of Perrier.
And when you've had enough
You'll throw him away,
And take him for all you can get.
Yeah, you like it don't you, Bernadette?
I don't want to leave Bernadette,
But I wanna keep a little bit of self respect.
I don't want to leave with you paying all my debts,
With that alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
You've never done a day's work in your life.
You've got no incentive.
Women like you oughta be locked up,
For giving others a bad name.
Ohh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
Ooh, Bernadette, Bernadette.
Ooh, Bernadette.
I think you're sad.

SAL
Whoa------I got time on my hands tonight
You're the girl of my dreams
When I'm near you my future seems bright

OO------I want you to be my girl
I want you to be my movie
I am Sal Mineo and I need you so
Sweet Bernadette

Whoa------You got style from your hair to your heels
Though my words may be jumbled
Still I'm telling you just how it feels

I love you

Wop, Wop, Wop, Wop
Come with me
There's a place I want you to see

When the leaves are dark
I've got a hiding place in Central Park
And the sky is a coat of diamonds

There's a wooden cross over my bed
The city is lit with candles
They're shining for you Bernadette.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
OO OO, Bernadette
