BECAUSE THE NIGHT

Live version 5

Take me now baby here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Stay with me now '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 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 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
Stay with me now 'till the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt me 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 thats here
And now, 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 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
Because the night
Because the night
Because the night
