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
