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 that man, José
 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, José'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 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, 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
