Lyrics for singles by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Because The Night

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe                  I work all day out in the hot sun
Love is a banquet on which we feed                      Stay with me now till the mornin' comes

Come on now try and 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                             What I got I have earned
love is a ring, the telephone                           What I'm not I have learned
love is an angel disguised as lust
here in our bed until 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
can't touch you now
can't touch you now

[chorus]

With love we sleep                                      Your love is here and now
with doubt the vicious circle turns and burns           The vicious circle turns and burns
without you, oh I cannot live                           without Though I cannot live forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment and
forgive, the yearning burning                           They can't hurt you now
I believe it's time, too real to feel
so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now

[chorus]

because tonight there are two lovers
if we believe in the night we trust
because tonight there are two lovers ...
