Take me now, baby, here as I am Pull me colse, try and understand
Desire's 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 hand
Take my hand from undercover They can't hurt you now
Can't hurry you now Can't hurt you now
*Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to love
Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when I'm alone Love is a ring, 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 touch you now
Can't touch you now Can't touch you now
*
Without the seed Without the vicious circle
Turns and burns Without you
Oh I cannot live Or give beyond the burning
I believe it's time Too real to feel
So touch me now Touch me now touch me now
Because the night there are two lovers Make me believe in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to love
Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to love
'Cause we believe tonight we're lovers
'Cause we believe
In the night we trust...

Have I doubt 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.

Take my hand as the sun descends.
They can't touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now.
