Come A Little Bit Closer
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics

In a little cafe just the other side of the border
I was in a cafe near the border when I spotted this attractive woman.

She was just sitting there giving me looks that made my mouth water
She looked at me seductively and I felt a strong attraction towards her.

So I started walking her way
I approached her and made my way towards her table.

She belonged to bad man, Jose
I understood that she was with a notorious man named Jose.

And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
I was aware that my situation was risky and that I should escape.

When I heard her say, yeah
Despite my instincts, I was intrigued by what she had to say.

Come a little bit closer
She pleaded with me to get closer to her.

You're my kind of man
She expressed that she was interested in me.

So big and so strong
She admired my physical presence and strength.

Come a little bit closer
She continued to persuade me to get closer.

I'm all-alone
She conveyed that she was lonely and needed company.

And the night is so long
She told me that the night was endless without someone beside her.

So we started to dance
I succumbed to her seduction and danced with her.

In my arms, she felt so inviting
She felt comfortable and welcome in my embrace.

That I just couldn't resist
I was drawn into her charm and could not stop myself.

Just one little kiss so exciting
I became caught up in the moment and shared a quick kiss with her.

Then I heard the guitar player say
The music stopped, and I overheard the guitar player speaking.

"Vamoose, Jose's on his way"
The guitar player warns me to run away as Jose is coming.

Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
After hearing the warning, I realized that I should get away quickly.

But then I heard her say, yeah
Despite the danger, she begged me to stay with her.

Come a little bit closer
She encouraged me to stay near and not leave her alone.

You're my kind of man
She expressed her attraction to me again.

So big and so strong
She continued to admire my physical attributes.

Come a little bit closer
She pleaded with me to forget the danger and stay.

I'm all alone
She reminded me of her loneliness and need for companionship.

And the night is so long
She expressed her desperation for someone to be with her in the long night.

La la-la-la la-la
This is a musical interlude and does not have any meaning.

La la-la-la la-la
This is a musical interlude and does not have any meaning.

Ho ho la-la
This is a musical interlude and does not have any meaning.

Then the music stopped
The music stopped playing abruptly.

When I looked the cafe was empty
I looked around and saw that everyone had left the cafe.

Then I heard Jose say
I heard the dangerous man Jose speaking.

"Man you know you're in trouble plenty"
Jose warned me that I was in grave trouble.

So I dropped my drink from my hand
I became nervous and dropped my drink from my hand.

And through the window I ran
I fled the cafe through the window.

And as I rode away
As I made my escape.

I could hear her say to Jose, yeah
As I left, I heard her trying to explain the situation to Jose.
