Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[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
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, a telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed till the mornin' 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
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
[Verse 3]
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
Written by: Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith
