[Verse 1]
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Break my back 'til the morning comes

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now

[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

[Verse 2]
What I got, I have earned
What I'm not, baby, I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Just stay in my bed 'til the morning comes
[Pre-Chorus]
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now

[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Your love it seeds with doubt
The vicious circle turns and burns without
You know I cannot live, forgive me now
The time has come to take the moment and
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now

[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to us
