Take me now, baby, here as I am

Hold me close, and 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

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 a doubt, baby, when I'm alone

Love is a ring, a telephone

Love is an angel disguised as lust

Here in our bed 'til 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

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

Saying anybody saving face belongs to her
