Lyrics
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
