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, Jos?br> 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, Jos?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 caf?was empty
|
Then I heard Jos?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 Jos? 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-l
