Come a Little Bit Closer Lyrics


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, yeahCome 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 longSo 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, yeahCome 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 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, yeahCome 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 longLa la-la-la la-la
La la-la-la la-la
Ho ho la-la
La la la-la

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker Jr. (December 23, 1929 - May 13, 1988) was born in Yale, Oklahoma. A trumpet player, Baker was an important part of the West coast "cool jazz" school of the 1950s. He first came to prominence in the jazz world as part of the pianoless Gerry Mulligan Quartet -- Mulligan had played with Miles Davis, whose Birth of the Cool is recognized as ushering in the movement. Baker's trumpet playing is characterized by incredibly sweet tones, clear and almost vibrato-less.
