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 bad 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 José, 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
