Because the

night be
A
longs to
Bm
lovers.
Bm
Because the
G
night be
A
longs to
Bm
lust.

Because the
G
night be

Bm
Because the
G
night be
A
longs to

us.
Have I doubt when I'm alone?
Love is a ring on 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.
