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
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
Love is a ring, the telephone
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
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
Turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it’s time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me 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
Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because tonight there are two lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

I can’t even see the dislikebar. Must be because they’re haters and not lovers. Poor kids.

@bluesboy25000

12 people are very strange…
Great song!!!!!
Bruce Springsteen wrote a great song and Patti Smith made a great version.
@jojojob75 yes
Yet another of my favourite songs.
WOW! Hell Yeah! Love Patti Smith! Listening to a lot of Patti, Blondie, Hey You!, Madonna, and No Doubt!. We need more rockin’ girls in 2011 !!!!!…
Hey You! is still pretty new, but they’re waaay sweet. Cool style and edge. plus they’ve got a real cute girl singer too!
check em out…
search “hey you band taking over”
70′s 80′ and 90′s hits always the best, unique, with unique style, as if told about something, about something cheerful, memorable, profound and sublime
you just seat down
shout your mouth
close your eyes…
and make your dream..
@Singsonggirl — So sorry-my bad!! Heard she had crossed over. Glad to hear otherwise! Thanks for the clarification!
@sweetbrowneyedlady Well, Patti is still alive, so i hope she’s rocking on Earth for some time longer!
@kennethj1956 — Haha, yeah!! Both were inspirational & talented ladies. Rock in Heaven, girlfriends!!
@jojojob75 He kind of came to a standstill and couldn’t figure out what else to do with it. The music was there, but the lyrics needed some reworking. They were both using Jimmy Iovine as a producer and were recording around the same time. Jimmy showed it to Patti and she turned it into what it is today.
@dittomama So, Springsteen wrote this song and gave it to her to sing it?
DAMN, i was so glad back in 78 to hear patti smith on the radio! also, she looked, like, really good on that album cover.

“…clean up the Nile, you Boston lovers” sounds better.
quienes son los estúpidos que han puntuado negativo? 11 subnormales
Springsteen wrote , he had the music and chorus written he gave that to Patti and she wrote the words, if I am not mistaken .
PUNK
Kickass song–strong, powerful,positive female energy!! Patti owns this…
