Because the Night (Manian Bootleg Cut)

[Verse 1]

Take me now, baby, here as I am

Hold me close, try and understand

Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe

Love is a banquet on which we feed

[Pre-Chorus]

Come on now, try and understand

The way I feel when I'm in your hands

Take my hand, come under cover

They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now

[Chorus]

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 the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

(Because the night)

(Because the night)

[Verse 2]

Have a doubt, baby, when I'm alone

Love is a ring; a telephone

Love is an angel, disguised as lust

Here in our beds 'til the morning comes

[Pre-Chorus]

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, can't touch you now, can't touch you now

[Chorus]

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 the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

(Because the night)

(Because the night)
