Coquette
Dorsey Brothers and Their Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little coquette, making fun of the one who loves you
Breaking hearts you are ruling
Little coquette, true hearts tenderly dreaming of you.
Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you.
Maybe the one you love will just be fooling too.
And when you are alone with all your regrets,
You know, my little coquette, I love you.
Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you.
Now, maybe the one you love will just be fooling too.
And when you are alone with all your regrets,
Now, you know, my little coquette, I love you.
The Dorsey Brothers and Their Orchestra's song "Coquette" is a poignant and thoughtful reflection on the nature of love and the pain that can come with loving someone who constantly plays games and fools around with your emotions. The singer addresses a particular "little coquette" who is always making fun of the person who loves her and breaking hearts left and right without a care in the world.
Despite the hurt that this behavior causes, the singer cannot help but continue to love the coquette, who is always left "alone with all [her] regrets" in the end. The lyrics suggest that the coquette will eventually fall in love herself and experience the same kind of heartbreak that she has been causing others all this time. In the meantime, the singer is left with a tender, bittersweet love that is both painful and comforting at the same time.
Overall, "Coquette" is a beautiful and heartfelt song that captures the complexities of love, longing, and regret in a way that is both timeless and relatable.

@andrewhomzy6859
A tribute to Guy Lombardo ~~~ Ouch when Dutton starts singing - but some hot jazz faintly in the back ground. The last chorus is nicely arranged - to bad it didn't start from there ~~~
