[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Take me now, b
aby, here as I
am.
Pull me close
try and unders
tand.
Desire is hung
er, is the fir
e I breathe.
Love is a banq
uet on which w
e feed.
Come on now, t
ry and underst
and
the way I feel
under your co
mmand.
Take my hand a
s the sun desc
ends.
They can't hur
t you now, can
't hurt you no
w, can't hurt
you now.
[Chorus]
Because the ni
ght belongs to
lovers.
Because the ni
ght belongs to
lust.
Because the ni
ght belongs to
lovers.
Because the ni
ght belongs to
us.
[Verse 2]
Have I doubt w
hen I'm alone?
Love is a ring
on the teleph
one.
Love is an ang
el disguised a
s lust,
here in our be
d until the mo
rning comes.
Come on now, t
ry and underst
and
the way I feel
under your co
mmand.
Take my hand a
s the sun desc
ends.
They can't hur
t you now, can
't hurt you no
w, can't hurt
you now.
[Chorus]
Because the ni
ght belongs to
lovers.
Because the ni
ght belongs to
lust.
Because the ni
ght belongs to
lovers.
Because the ni
ght belongs to
us.
[Solo]
[Bridge]
With love we s
leep; with dou
bt the vicious
cycle turns a
nd burns.
Without you Oh
h I cannot liv
e, forgive the
yearning, bur
ning
I believe in t
ime, too heal
to feel,
so take me now
, take me now,
take me now.
[Chorus]
Because the ni
ght belongs to
lovers.
Because the ni
ght belongs to
lust.
Because the ni
ght belongs to
lovers.
And everybody
says that it b
elongs to us.
