Because the Night

[Verse 1]
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand, come undercover
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now

[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
They can't touch you now
They can't touch you now

[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive me now
The time has come
To take the moment
And they can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now

[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
