Zivim da zivim
Indira Radic · Other Songs - Indira Radic
do ivice ponora sam dosla
kad me je uz drugove i vino
tuga za jedno vece prosla
Ref.
Zivim da zivim ako prezivim
da te zaboravim do jutra
na mome licu sijace sunce
i kada je nevreme unutra
Ne znam sto sam bila tako luda
da zbog tebe padnem u samocu
da mi budes jedini na svetu
kada mogu imati kog hocu
Ref. 2x
Ne znam sto sam bila tako slepa
da ne vidim da me nisi vredan
da pozelim zbog tebe da umrem
a zivot je ipak samo jedan
Ref. 2x
I meni krenuce na bolje
svaka ce ruza da mi cveta
za ljubav opet imam volje
sa drugim cu stici na kraj sveta
Ref. 2x
