Live 12 Jun 1985 version
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 under your command
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you 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 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
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]
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
The above lyrics are for the live 12 Jun 1985 performance of BECAUSE THE NIGHT at Stadion Feyenoord in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, during the Born In The U.S.A. Tour.
