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

Someday you'll fall in love like I fell in love with you
Maybe someone you love will just be fooling
And when you are alone with only regrets
You'll know, little coquette, I love you

[Spoken]
Why don't you quit foolin' this boy, little coquette?
And why don't you quit makin' fun of all the ones that love ya?
Ya know what you're doin? You're brakin' hearts that you could be rulin', and you're too sweet a girl for that
There's a lots of true hearts, and all of 'em's always tenderly thinkin' of you

You know, someday you're gonna get old
And you don't wanna be old with only regrets
Just sittin' there dreamin' about someone that used to love you

[Sung]
Someday you'll fall in love like I fell in love with you
Maybe someone you love will just be fooling around with you
And when you are alone with only regrets
You'll know, little coquette, I love you
