Take me now, baby, here as I am Pull me close, try and understand Desire is hunger, it's 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 (Because the night) if we believe in the night we trust Because tonight belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because tonight belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust (Because the night) if we believe we belongs to lovers (Because the night) if we believe we belongs to lust Because tonight belongs to lovers

“Because the Night” foi escrita em colaboração entre Patti Smith e Bruce Springsteen, que entregou a canção a Smith acreditando que combinava com sua voz.
A faixa foi lançada como single em 1978 e fez parte do álbum *Easter* de Patti Smith.
O single alcançou a posição 13 na Billboard Hot 100, impulsionando as vendas de *Easter* e trazendo sucesso mainstream ao álbum.
A música foi incluída na lista da NME de “The Top 150 Singles of All Time”, ocupando o número 116 em 1987.
Na época da composição, Springsteen enfrentava uma disputa legal com seu empresário Mike Appel, que o manteve afastado de gravações por quase três anos.
