Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull 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 when I'm in your hands
Take my hand, come undercover
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 lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
[2x]

Have I a doubt, baby when I'm alone
Love is a ring on the telephone
Love is an angel, disguised as lust
Here in our bed until 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 lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
[2x]

With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch 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
[2x]
