In a little cafe on the other side of the border
C C F F C C G G\C C
She was sitting there giving me looks that made my mouth water
F F
So I started walking her way, she be-longed to Bad Man Jose
G G C C F F G G
And I knew, yes I knew, I should leave, then I heard her say - ay - ay

G G C C F F G G
.. Come a little bit closer, you're my kind of man, so big and so strong
C C F F G G C C F F G G F F
Come a little bit closer, I'm all a-lone, and the night is so long

C C F F C C G G\C C
So we started to dance, in my arms she felt so in-viting
C C F F C C G G\C C
And I just couldn't resist, a-just a-one little kiss so ex-citing
F F
Then I heard the guitar player say: "Va-moose , Jose's on his way"
G G C C F F G G
And I knew , yes I knew, I should run, but then I heard her say - ay -ay

G G C C F F G G
.. Come a little bit closer, you're my kind of man, so big and so strong
C C F F G G C C F F G G
Come a little bit closer, I'm all a-lone, and the night is so long

Then the music stopped, when I looked, the cafe was empty
C C F F C C G G\C C
And I heard Jose say: Man, you know you're in trouble plenty
F F
So I dropped my drink from my hand, and from the window I ran
G G C C F F G G
And as I rode a-way, I could hear her say to Jos - e - yay

G G C C F F G G
.. Come a little bit closer, you're my kind of man, so big and so strong
C C F F G G C C C C F F G G
Come a little bit closer, I'm all a-lone, and the night is so long

C C F F G G
La, la, la-la . . .
