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, 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, José'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 longThen 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, 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
