BECAUSE THE NIGHT

Live version 3

Take me now baby here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
I break my back till the evening comes

Come on now try and understand
I work all day busting for the man
Daylights gone, take me under your cover
They can't hurt us now
Can't hurt us now, can't hurt us now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
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
Love is like an angel, comes at dusk
Stay in my bed 'till the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
I work all day busting for the man
Daylight comes, take me under you cover
They can't hurt us now
Can't hurt me now, can't hurt you now

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

With love we seed
The doubt, the vicious circle
Turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive me now, the time has come
To take this moment on
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

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
