Lyrics

Johnny Duncan & Janie Frickie In a little cafe just the other side of the border Mmmmm, she was a-sitting there giving me looks That made my mouth water So I started walking her way But she belonged to that bad man Jose And I knew, yes, I knew, I should leave But heard her say. 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. Hmmmm. So we started to dance, in my arms she felt so inviting Mmmmmm, I just couldn't resist, a-just a-one little kiss so exciting Then I heard the guitar player say, va-moose, Jose's on his way And I knew, yes I knew, I should run, but then I heard her say. 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. Ha, ha, ha, alright. Laaa-laaa, la-la, laaa-laaa, la-la Laaa-laaa, la-la, laaa-laaa, la-la Then the music stopped, when I looked, the cafe was empty Then I heard Jose say, man, you know you're in trouble plenty 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. 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. 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. Laaa-laaa, la-la, laaa-laaa, la-la Laaa-laaa, la-la, laaa-laaa, la-la...
