Take me now, baby, here as I am

Pull me close, try and understand

Desire is hunger, it's the fire I breathe

Love is a banquet on which we feed

[Pre-Chorus]

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 bed until the morning comes

[Pre-Chorus]

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]

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Forgive, the yearning burning

I believe it's time, too real to feel

So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now

[Outro]

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because tonight there are two lovers

If we believe in the night we trust

Because tonight belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because tonight belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

If we believe we belongs to lovers

If we believe we belongs to lust

Because tonight belongs to lovers

Because
