Live 30 May 1978 version
Two, three, four
Take me now baby here as I am
Hold me close to try and understand
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
With your love baby when you're here
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now when the sun descends
They can't touch now
They can't touch now
They can't touch 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've got is what I earned
What I'm not baby I have learned
Love is a ring, the telephone
Baby wait till when I'm alone
Well come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your command
Take me now when 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 lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Your love is here and now
The vicious circle turns and burns without
Though I cannot live forgive me now
The time has come to bring the evening out
Can't touch 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 love
