Jay & The Americans - 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, 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

[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, 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-la-la la-la

Ho ho la-la

La la la-la
