Lyrics
Take me now baby, here as I am
Hold me close, then try and understand
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Oh, because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone
Love is a ring, a telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
With love, we sleep with doubt
The vicious circle turns and burns
Without you, oh, I cannot live
Forgive the yearning burning
I believe it's time to heal, to feel
So take me now, take me now, take me now
Oh, because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
And everybody's saving, it belongs to us
Writer(s): Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen
