*in a little cafe 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, jose
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, jose'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
Then the music stopped
When i looked the cafe was empty
Then i heard jose 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 jose, 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*
