Hocu da budem samo zena

hocu malo ljubavi o njoj sada sanjam
dosta mi je lazi, dosta praznih rijeci
hocu malo ljubavi da sanjam o sreci
Ref.
Hocu da budem samo zena
zivot da mi bude k'o ljubav i san
hocu da budem samo zena
da me neko zeli kao suncan dan
Dosta mi je suza, sjete i kajanja
hocu malo radosti malo srecnih dana
dosta mi je godina sto prodjose ludo
hocu malo ljubavi ne zivi se dugo
Ref.
Dosta mi je svega nemam vise snage
hocu nesto drugo, hocu rijeci drage
dosta mi je tuge hocu ljubav pravu
hocu kao zena da uzdignem glavu
Ref.
Hocu da budem samo zena
