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... oh
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
'Cause 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 beds until the morning come
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
'Cause the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
With lust we sleep
With doubt
The vicious cycle 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
'Cause the night belongs to lovers
And everybody says this belongs to us
