Bernadette Lyrics - Kinks

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. 

Photos 

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.
