Because the Night [Live 1975/85]

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Take me now, baby, here as I am Pull me close, try and understand I work all day out in the hot sun Break my back 'til the morning comes [Pre-Chorus] 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 you now They can't hurt you now They 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] What I got, I have earned What I'm not, baby, I have learned Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe Just stay in my bed 'til the morning comes [Pre-Chorus] 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 you now They can't hurt you now They 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 [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Your love it seeds with doubt The vicious circle turns and burns without You know I cannot live, forgive me now The time has come to take the moment and They can't hurt us now They can't hurt us 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 [Guitar Solo] [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 Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to us
