BECAUSE THE NIGHT

Live version 4

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
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
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 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 like an angel, that comes at dusk
Stay in my bed 'till the evening comes
Come on now try and understand
I work all day pushing for the man
Take me now as the sun descends
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 lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers

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 and
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
