Come A Little Bit Closer

Jay and The Americans

(Written by Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart and Wes Farrell)

In a little café 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, José 

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, José'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 café was empty 

Then I heard José 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 José, 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-la
