Live 17 Jul 1984 version
Well take me now baby here as I am
Hold me close try and understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Come in to bed when the evening comes
Well come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now come undercover
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 baby I have earned
What I'm not baby I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Stay with me darling till the morning comes
Yeah 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
Your love it seeds with doubt
The vicious circle turns and burns without
You know I cannot live, forgive me now
But time has come to take the moment and
They can't touch us now
They can't touch 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
Baby because the night belongs to us
Because the night
Darling 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
The above lyrics are for the live 17 Jul 1984 performance of BECAUSE THE NIGHT at Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont, IL, during the Born In The U.S.A. Tour.
