sad vise ne osecam
otkad s njom me prevari
ovog proleca

Htela sam ti reci
al' ti mi uze rec
da je odavno
s nama gotovo
Ref.
Ko ce vise tuzan biti
jos cemo da vidimo
ne znam ko ce suze liti
kad racune svedemo
Ko ce vise tuzan biti
vreme ce da pokaze
pazi na se, ima sanse
da ti srce otkaze
Veruj da se kajem sad
sto sam te zavolela
da si dusa prodana
ja sam shvatila
