Odavno (duet Jacques Houdek)
Jaca · Other Songs - Jaca
kad sa sobom sama ostanes
znam da nikad to ne bi priznala
jos mrzis kad me netko spomene
A da sretnes me, draga, sto bi tad
ni za zivu glavu ne bi priznala to da
Odavno nedostajem i jos se boris s tim
da bude bolje s njim nego sa mnom
sve u svoju korist si promijenila
i opet ne valja
Mislis li na nas u dugim nocima
ili dobro si bez mene
znas da nikad to ne bih priznala
a jos te cuvam pod prstima
ni za zivu glavu ne bih priznala to da
Odavno nedostajes i jos se borim s tim
da bude bolje s njim nego s tobom
sve u svoju korist bih promijenila
i opet ne valja
Sve u svoju korist bih promijenila
Odavno nedostajem i jos se boris s tim
da bude bolje nego sa mnom
sve u svoju korist bi promijenila
i opet ne valja
