Stegni mi ruku

sad idi drugu trazi
kad nije srce htelo
da ceni duh vec telo
Ref.
Samo mi stegni ruku
meni ce dosta biti i idi
i ljubi drugu
ali mi nemoj kriti
Zato mi stegni ruku
da ides drugoj kazi
neka nek boli malo
samo da nisu lazi
Bole me tvoje lazi
boli me lomno telo
a bas je srce hetlo
da ti se preda celo
Ref.
Reci, zar nije dosta
sto sam ti snove dala
sto sam te sanjat htela
jer drugo nisam znala
Ref.
