COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSERJay & The Americans- written by Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart and Wes Farrell- a #3 hit for Jay & The Americans in 1964- lyrics as recorded by Jay & The Americans and included on the 1991 compilation album "Jay & The Americans - Greatest Hits" (CEMA Special Markets S21 57409)In a little café just the other side of the borderShe was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth waterSo I started walking her wayShe belonged to bad man, JoséAnd I knew, yes I knew I should leaveWhen 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 longSo we started to danceIn my arms, she felt so invitingThat I just couldn't resistJust one little kiss so excitingThen I heard the guitar player say"Vamoose, José's on his way"Then I knew, yes I knew I should runBut 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 stoppedWhen I looked the café was emptyThen I heard José say"Man you know you're in trouble plenty"So I dropped my drink from my handAnd through the window I ranAnd as I rode awayI 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 longLa la-la-la la-laLa la-la-la la-laHo ho la-laLa la la-la
