Intro: Take me now, baby, here as I am. Pull 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 when I'm in your hand. Take my hand; come under cover. They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now. Chorus: Because the night belongs to lovers. Because the night belongs to lust. Because the night belongs to lovers. Because the night belongs to us. Second verse: 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. 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. Repeat Chorus Ending: With love we sleep; with doubt the viscious circle turn and turns. Without you I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning I believe in time, too real to feel, so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now.
