Take me now, baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe
Love is the banquet on which we feed
Come on now, try to understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand, come undercover
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
With love, we sleep
With doubt, the vicious circle turn and burns
Without you, oh I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning, I believe
It's time, too real to feel
Touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Hey, because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe, in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
If we believe, in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Oh, the night
Because the night
Because the night
Patti Smith!
Thank you everybody!
Pull me close, try and understand

Come on now, try to understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand, come undercover
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

If we believe, in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
If we believe, in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Oh, the night
Because the night
Because the night
Patti Smith!
Thank you everybody!

I happen to like this version better than the Patti Smith and 10,000 maniacs version as well. Maybe it's because the lyrics are different. The version Bruce has done has different lyrics. If you notice in the 10,000 maniacs/Patti Smith version there is no part about working all day and so forth (the whole first stanza, the second stanza is different as well). Maybe adaptations were made to the lyrics so they could better fit a women's perspective. Interesting. I don't know just guessing. Any way great song.
