Take me now, baby, here as I am 
Hold me close, 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, come under cover 
They can't hurt you now 

Because the night belongs to lovers 
Because the night belongs to lust 
Because the night belongs to lovers 
Because the night belongs to us 

Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone 
Love is a ring on the 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, come under cover 
They can't hurt you now 

Because the night belongs to lovers 
Because the night belongs to lust 
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, I cannot live, 
forgive the yearning burning 
I believe in love too real to feel, 
take me now, take me now, take me now 

Because the night belongs to lovers 
Because the night belongs to lust 
Because the night belongs to lovers 
Because the night belongs to us
