Verse:

Just a sweet coquette, So they say and yet,

I know how true you can be.

Just a butterfly, So they say but,

I know just how much you love me.

 

Chorus:

The others you've met may call you Coquette,

But I'll always call you "sweetheart."

They think of Coquette as something to pet,

But I think of you as "sweetheart."

They say you're a devil with wonderful charms,

But I held an angel that night in my arms,

So try and forget the name of Coquette,

And only remember "sweetheart."
