Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is a hunger, it's the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
[PreChorus]
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]
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 bedroom till the morning comes
[PreChorus]
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 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
[Bridge]
With love we sleep
With doubt this 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]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
[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
Written by: Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith
