Because the Night (Live on MTV Unplugged)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Take me now, baby, here as I am Hold me close, and try and understand Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe Love is a banquet on which we feed [Pre-Chorus] Come on now, try and understand The way I feel under your command Take my hand, as the sun descends They can't hurt you now Can't hurt you now Can't hurt you now [Chorus] Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us [Verse 2] Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone Love is a ring, a telephone Love is an angel disguised as lust Here in our bed 'til the morning comes [Pre-Chorus] Come on now, try and understand The way I feel under your command Take my hand, as the sun descends They can't hurt you now Can't hurt you now Can't hurt you now [Chorus] Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us [Bridge] With love we sleep, with doubt the vicious cycle turns, and burns Without you oh I cannot live, forgive the yearning Burning I believe it's time, too real to feel So take me now, take me now, take me now [Chorus] Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers And everybody says that it belongs to us
