In a little caf?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, JosBR Then I heard the guitar player say
BR"Vamoose, Jos?s on his way"
BRThen I knew, yes I knew I should run
BRBut then I heard her say, yeah
BR
BRCome a little bit closer
BRYou're my kind of man
BRSo big and so strong
BRCome a little bit closer
BRI'm all alone
BRAnd the night is so long
BR
BR------ instrumental break ------
BR
BRThen the music stopped
BRWhen I looked the caf?was empty
BRThen I heard Jos?say
BR"Man you know you're in trouble plenty"
BRSo I dropped my drink from my hand
BRAnd through the window I ran
BRAnd as I rode away
BRI could hear her say to Jos? yeah
BR
BRCome a little bit closer
BRYou're my kind of man
BRSo big and so strong
BRCome a little bit closer
BRI'm all alone
BRAnd the night is so long
BR
BRLa la-la-la la-la
