Lyrics
<poem> Take me now, baby, here as I am Pull me close, try and understand Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe Love is a banquet on which we feed Come on now, try and understand The way I feel when I'm in your hands Take my hand, come under cover They can't hurt you now Can't hurt you now Can't hurt you now<
Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when I'm alone Love is a ring, the telephone Love is an angel disguised as lust Here in our bed 'til the morning comes Come on now, try and understand The way I feel under your command Take my hand as the sun descends They can't touch you now Can't touch you now Can't touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us
With love we sleep With doubt the vicious circle turns and burns Without you I cannot live Forgive, the yearning burning I believe it's time, too real to feel So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Oh, because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers If we believe in the night we trust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us <poem>
