Danak ljubavi
Dragana Mirkovic · Other Songs - Dragana Mirkovic
volim a sama ostajem
cutim i ne pitam te sto
kraj mene nemo prolazis
znam zauvek odlazis
Ref.
Sve sto sam ja prastala
sto puta za redom
znam, ne bi ti oprostila
druga to nijednom
Bas, tesko je pravila
u zivotu shvatiti
da sam ja uvek ta koja mora platiti
svoj danak ljubavi
Ruse se snovi moji svi
k'o kule od karata
sad shvatam sta smo bili mi
samo spolja blistav sjaj
samo lazna pozlata
Ref.
Sve sto sam ja prastala
sto puta za redom
znam, ne bi ti oprostila
druga to nijednom
Bas, tesko je pravila
u zivotu shvatiti
da sam ja uvek ta koja mora platiti
