mrtva se stvar ne da da spasi
sve sto je moje sada je njeno
uzela sve si cestitam zeno
Ref.
Predajem se, predajem
zivot si mi ubila
uspjela si, uspjela
od mene si ga otela
Predajem se, predajem
zivot si mi ubila
srce se steze, tuga me davi
ja cu da placem, ona nek slavi
Predajem se, predajem
zivot si mi ubila
uspjela si, uspjela
od mene si ga otela
