Imati pa nemati

Ne znas ti kako je imati pa nemati
ne znas ti kako je ljubiti pa gubiti
ne znas ti kako je normalan biti pa poludeti
ne znas ti i nikad neces saznati
ne znas ti kako je normalan biti pa poludeti
ne znas ti, a sve to zbog ljubavi

Ref.
Sad ostani i ne idi
jer znam da ces da zazalis
kad kazes kraj
a da tako ne mislis

Sad ostani jer trebas mi
pa makar noc jos trajalo
jer to je sve
sto je od nas ostalo

Ne znas ti kako je kad te drze navike
ne znas ti kad srce broji samo oziljke
ne znas ti kad se ne uzvrati ljubav kako zaboli
ne znas ti, malo njih to preboli

Ref.
