BECAUSE THE NIGHT
Live version 2
Take me now baby here as I am
Hold me close try and understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Break my back till the morning comes
Come on now, baby hear my plea
I work all day pushing for the man
Daylight comes, take me under your covers
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
What I got I have earned
What I'm not baby I have learned
Love is a warning on the telephone
Waits until morning when I'm alone
Come on now try and understand
I work all day pushing for the man
Take me now as the sun descends
You can hurt me now
They cant hurt us now
They cant hurt us now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Your love is here and I
The vicious circle turns and burns
???
I can't believe that I'm alone
???
Can't touch me now
Can't hurt us now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
