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 till the morning comes

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

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

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 till the morning comes

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

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Your love it sees with doubt
The vicious circle turns and burns without
And though I cannot live, forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment and
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now

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 lovers
Because the night belongs to us
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 lovers
Because the night belongs to us
