*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*
