Lyrics

n a little café
Just the other side of the border
She was a-sitting there a-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
And I just couldn’t resist
Just one little kiss, so exciting
Then I heard the guitar player say
“Vamoos, José’s on his way!”

And 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

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 (Come a little bit closer)
La-la-la-la la-la-la-la (Come a little bit closer)
Woah woah (Come a little bit closer)
I can still hear her say (Come a little bit closer)
La-la-la-la la-la-la-la (Come a little bit closer)
