Jay and the Americans
Come a Little Bit Closer
[Verse 1]
In a little cafe
Just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks
That made my mouth water

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
"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"

[Verse 3]
So we started to dance
In my arms, she felt so inviting
And I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss, so exciting

[Verse 4]
Then I heard the guitar player say
"Vamos, Jose's on his way"
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say, yeah
[Chorus]
"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"

[Verse 5]
Then the music stopped
When I looked the cafe was empty
Then I heard Jose say
"Man, you know you're in trouble plenty"

[Verse 6]
So I dropped my drink from my hand
And out through the window I ran
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to Jose, yeah

[Chorus]
"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"
[Outro]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Wo oh ho
I still hear her say
I still hear her say
