Coax me a little bit,
Coax me a little bit,
I love a little love a little bit!
Coax me a little bit,
Coax me a little bit,
If you wanna be kissed!

I'll tell you what to say,
Here's what you gotta say,
"Pretty pretty pretty pretty please!"
I'm gonna pout a bit
Till you give out a bit,
And you really insist, so;

Oh-oh, chatter me
With your flattery!
You know the reason why I'm teasy;
What is somethin' that comes easy?
Oh-oh, love is grand
If you understand!
It all depends the way that you begin,
How soon I'm in your arms!

So coax me a little bit,
Coax me a little bit,
I love a little love a little bit!
Coax me a little bit,
Coax me a little bit,
A little bit more!

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, 
Coax me a little bit,
Coax me a little bit,
A little little little little bit!
Coax me a little bit,
Coax me a little bit!

I'll tell you what to say,
Here's what you gotta say,
"Pretty pretty pretty pretty please!"
I'm gonna pout a bit
Till you give out a bit,
And you really insist, so;

Tell me, honey lamb,
Just how sweet I am!
Whisper soft and sweet and gentle,
'Cause you know I'm sentimental.
I like what you say,
So you say what you like!
My heart alone will tell me if you rate
The love you're waiting for!

So coax me a little bit,
Coax me a little bit,
A little lovin' lovin' love a little bit!
I love your love a little bit,
I love your love a little bit,
I love a little bit more!
