"Come a Little Bit Closer" by Jay and the Americans

Verse 1:

In a [C]little cafe on the [F]other side of the [C]border
She was [C]sitting there giving me [F]looks that made my mouth [C]water
So I [F]started walking her way, she belonged to Bad Man Jose
And I [G]knew, yes I knew I should leave then I heard her [C]say [F] ay [G] ay

Chorus:

[G]Come a little bit [C]closer, you're [F]my kind of [G]man
So big and so [F]strong
Come a little bit [C]closer, [F]I'm all a[G]lone
And the night is so [C]long [F] [G]

Verse 2:

So we [C]started to dance, in my [F]arms she felt so in[C]viting
And I just [C]couldn't resist, a-just a-[F]one little kiss so ex[C]citing
Then I [F]heard the guitar player say: Vamoose, Jose's on his way
And I [G]knew, yes I knew I should run but then I heard her [C]say [F] ay [G] ay

Chorus

Verse 3:

Then the [C]music stopped, when I [F]looked, the cafe was [C]empty
And I [C]heard Jose say: Man, you [F]know you're in trouble [C]plenty
So I [F]dropped the drink from my hand, and out through the window I ran
And as I rode a[G]way, I could hear her say to Jos[C]e [F] ay [G] ay

Chorus

[C]La [F]la [G]la la
