Lyrics
[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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 4]
Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
[Verse 5]
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 hurt you now, can't hurt you now
[Verse 6]
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 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Hey, 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 9]
Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
[Verse 10]
Tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
[Verse 11]
Oh, the night
Because the night
Because the night
