[Verse 1: Nikki Flores]
Take me now, baby here as I am
Pull me close, try to understand
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
[Pre-Chorus: Nikki Flores]
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, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
[Chorus: Tyler Lyle & Nikki Flores]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because thе night belongs to us
[Verse 2: Tyler Lyle]
How I doubt when I'm alone
Lovе is a ring on the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes
[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Lyle]
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
[Chorus: Tyler Lyle & Nikki Flores]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
[Bridge: Tyler Lyle & Nikki Flores]
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
[Chorus: Tyler Lyle & Nikki Flores]
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
[Outro: Tyler Lyle & Nikki Flores]
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
