A       F#m   A           Cdim     E7/6       Cdim  E7/6  Cdim 
Tell me,     why you keep fooling, little coquette,

A        F#m   A            Cdim    E7/6      Cdim  E7/6  Cdim
Breaking     hearts you are ruling, little coquette, 

E7/6        Cdim E7/6      E7-9    A         
True hearts      tenderly dreaming of you?


Bridge:

A7     Em7  A              Em7     D9        G/B  Edim  D6      
Some - day you'll fall in love, as I fell in love with you;

B7   B7/F#  B7        F#m7      E7/9 E  E+5    E7
May - be  someone you love will just be fool - in'.


A       F#m  A          Cdim     E7/6    Cdim  E7/6  Cdim 
And when    you're all alone with only regrets,

E7/6        Cdim E7/6      E7-9       A         
You'll know,     little coquette, I loved you.

You'll know,     little coquette, I loved you,

Loved you, loved you,

You'll know, my little coquette, I loved you.
