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
