In a little café just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way

She belonged to that man, José
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah


Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man

So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone

And the night is so long

So we started to dance

In my arms, she felt so inviting
That I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss so exciting

Then I heard the guitar player say
"Vamoose, José's on his way"
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run

But then I heard her say, yeah

Come a little bit closer

You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer

I'm all alone
And the night is so long


instrumental break

Then the music stopped

When I looked the café was empty
Then I heard José say
"Man you know you're in trouble plenty"

So I dropped my drink from my hand
And through the window I ran
And as I rode away

I could hear her say to Joscute;, yeah

Come a little bit closer

You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer

I'm all alone
And the night is so long


La la-la-la la-la
La la-la-la la-la
Ho ho la-la

La la la-la
