Take me now, baby, here as I am

Hold me close, and 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 under your command

Take my hand, as the sun descends

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 us

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us



Have I a doubt, baby, when I'm alone

Love is a ring a 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 hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now



Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

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, oh I cannot live,

forgive the yearning burning

I believe it's time to heal to feel,

so take me now, take me now, take me now



Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us
