- Verse:
- You love to flirt and you
don't mean to hurt, But you leave those who love you to sigh,
- Each heart's a flow'r that
you want for an hour, Then forget like a gay butterfly.
- Butterflies play in the
summer sun, But are they gay when their day is done?
-
- Chorus:
- Tell me why you keep fooling,
Little Coquette?
- Making fun of the ones who
love you.
- Breaking hearts you are
ruling, Little Coquette,
- True hearts tenderly dreaming
of you.
- Some day you'll fall in
love as I fell in love with you.
- Maybe someone you love will
just be fooling,
- And when you're all alone
with only regret,
- You'll know Little Coquette,
I loved you.
